Since there are like others out there in the same situation, I'll respond a little broader than the specifics you asked for.
For the most comfort in shirts, avoid the polyester, cotton, and cotton/poly shirts. Get either micromesh or McDavid Intera. Both will keep you much cooler than cotton or poly. Also, get some form of wicking undershirt: coolmax, dri-fit, intera, etc. No cotton. Anywhere. It gets wet and stays wet.
Pants...most are moving to pleated (and beltless). Check around your area and get the style that the top official are wearing. I get mine from Honigs (house brand) and they're just fine. At Honigs, the pleated fit quite a bit loser than the flat front (the nature of pleated) but the waist size also seemed a little bigger.
Once I went pleated, I needed the flex belt. It really does work. I never used one before. With the pleated, there was a lot less fabric in contact with the shirttail and they slipped down/out too easy. Nothing looks worse than your shirt hanging out or you tucking it back in every few minutes.
Shoes...all black...whatever fits you best. Some will swear by New Balance; others, Nike, Reebok, or Converse. Most of what seperates them is fit.
Socks...I like the thorlo support/uniform socks. There are many good ones out there. Your feet will appreciate having a good pair of socks after back-to-back games over several days.
Whistle: Fox40. End of story.
Landyard: some like the smitty; some the noose or the standard with a slider. Whatever you like. However, if you use a smitty, carry a standard as a spare in case the attachment loop on the shirt breaks (mine has).
Wear black compression shorts just in case you ever split your pants.
I prefer Honings. Perfect service including several returns for poor fit.
I tried purchaseofficialsupplies once but they were slow and were out of advertised items (and wouldn't have them in for 5-6 months).
I've not tired the others that refTN mentioned since I've had such good service with Honigs.
