I think we are in the era of fads and this is drawing unneeded attention to officials.

My fear is that the FED and NCAA will copy the NFL and we are all in for new costs for uniforms.
The "unneeded attention" philosophy is ridiculous IMO. It always has been. I don't go out of my way to draw attention to myself, but I sure don't try to be invisible, either. No good officials that I know do.

We went to blue bags this year. They don't look dirty after a few weeks. And I wear the most comfy shoes I can find. My current ones have white on them.
