As always, better more pronounced, consistent and deliberate signalling will help reduce any problems and assist timing accuracy.
Just as urprisingly, the use of the wider striped shirts further helps to negate the problem, of picking out the game officials on a crowded sideline, somewhat.
Just as an observation for someone's consideration, after watching a Canadian Football Game on TV, the wing officials patrolling those crowded sidelines wearing white hats seemed a lot easier, and quicker, to locate.

Easy now...You're treading in dangerous water....this gets out to the wrong people and we'll all be wearing neon colors like some of the soccer guys before long.
I really could care less overall on what to wear at the HS level, however....the knickers and socks look was brutal. The pants not only look much MUCH better (in my opinion) they're a lot more comfy...and my wife says black is "slimming."
