I started back in the day of black socks with no stripes. Knickers were baggier. I don't remember much instruction in mechanics, like we have now.
Looking at some old game films, I saw officials literally jumping off the ground as they threw their hands up to signal a TD. It looks so dramatic.
Things have changed for the better in terms of mechanics but I am opposed to the new stuff like blue bags, pants and goofy looking shirts.
