I saw and heard one first hand last month when I officiated an AAU boys' national tournament game with Larry "Torch" Torchia. Torch is owner of Torch's Referee & Umpires Supplies (http://www.OfficialsSupplies.com). He is Joe DeRosa's (Purchas Officials) distributer in the Southeast.

Yes, they long funky but I received three in the mail from Torch last week and was going to use them in the girls' season this fall in Michigan, but I am currently on crutches due to a stress fracture in my right foot which I guess started in the last week of July while officiating in Florida. I guess I will have to wait until the boys' winter season now to try them. They really don't look that goofy on a lanyard.
