This is definitely a regional thing.
I'd never seen shorts in a varsity game until a few years ago. Likewise, I'd never seen jackets or striped coats on officials until I moved to Wisconsin.
I'd never worn one....until two weeks ago.
I was filling in on another crew. Rainy and cold -- the temp walking in was about 43 degrees and it dropped to 35, windy and rainy by the end of the game. I wore underarmour and a long sleeved shirt for the first half and then I noticed that the rest of the crew had coats on. When in Rome....
So I wore my striped parka the second half. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to get at my flag or beanbag well, but not to worry -- no bags or flags needed the entire second half.
I'm not a fan of the coats on the field -- underarmour can stop most cold and wind and you can always layer UNDER the long sleeved shirt.
