Our local assoc had a situation once where one official (2-person crew) went down in the first quarter during a locally televised game. Another one of our officials was in the stands, but did not bring his gear with him.

The official in the stands borrowed the injured officials gear, but he is way taller and bigger than the injured official. The pants were about as tight as jeans were back in the 70's and they were about 3 inches too short. The shoes didn't fit at all so the replacement ref wore his white tennis shoes during the game.

It's legendary around here. We keep the tape on file to blackmail him as needed. :-)
