One thing not mentioned was shorts. I think they look so tacky, especially, on some officials who seem to have last their way to the gym.

I was glad to see stirrup socks go as for me keeping them in my shoes was impossible. While it has just happened the flag hanging out of the back pocket is no longer done and, of course, the double shooter with a flag hanging from each pocket.

What I would like to see is abolishment of shorts. More comfortable shirts -- cotton is the best material for warm weather, Honigs had one this past season. Allowance for design on shoes.

Mechanics at the high school level moving coaches, players and chain crews off the sidelines leaving room for wings to work the sidelines without having to avoid them. And, I am still looking for a signal to indicate to teh crew that the clock stops at the end of the down -- the snapper protection signal used to be used for that purpose.
