Our contract with the schools state that we have to wear a coat, dress shirt and slacks, tie. A turtleneck may be substituted for the dress shirt and tie. On really cold days or snow days we can skip the sports coat or suit coat and wear a heavy parka. Woman are similar dressed/business dressed but no tie.

Some of us have taken to just buttoning the top shirt button and no tie. I don?t like that myself. What I do is wear a dark colored undershirt that compliments my dress shirt, this when I where a V-neck sweater over my dress shirt while wearing a sports coat.

Last minute call to do a game, you get what you get.
I think this is really excessive to be required. If someone doesn't regularly wear suits in thier career, this can be very burdonsome. I would never think it reasonable ask someone to spend 10-20x a game fee to buy clothes to show up in, particularly at the rates we get paid..Or to expect someone to change clothes from their professional day job where such attire would only draw jokes.

I heartily echo the word excessive. I am thankful to live in a rural (redneck) area where such restrictions are probably unheard of. I personally farm for a living (if you can call this living) and have been known to get off a combine, run by my house and change, and beat it to the games. This is not something to be proud of, but I'm sure that I have called a game or two at times with a little grease left stuck somewhere on my person. As long as it's not in my eye, I still know a travel when I see one.
