When I was in school, I remember the officials wearing shorts early in the season on Friday nights. The first association I was in, we could wear shorts for all sub-varsity games with white "footies". The group I am now with allows us to wear white shorts for youth and MS ball but we wear white OTC socks.

I'd much prefer the shorter socks!

I've heard tales of young officials or transfers showing up with striped socks and shorts but have never actually seen it.

The lacrosse officials sock actually has no stripes, just a solid black band from the top down about 3-4".

What looks the worst, IMO, is the varying lengths of shorts of guys who have purchased them in different years. I think the ones I have now are a good 2 inches or more longer in the leg than when I started out in '94.
