Over here we wear black shorts and mesh shirts for Pop Warner and daylight games (starting times prior to 4:30pm). I actually love the black shorts (don't show the dirt and grass stains). We wear plain white socks (but I don't like the fact that some guys are wearing short socks and other guys are wearing long socks; to me it looks tacky).

For all JV and Varsity games starting at 4:30pm or later, which is the case 99% of the time, we always wear white knickers. Now we have two schools up at the 2,000 foot elevation level and the night games can get cool and breezy. So this year we are actually going to wear long-sleeved shirts up there.

For all you warm weather officials has anyone tried the Honig's cotton/poly blend knickers and shirts? They claim to be cooler... Also, Honigs has "athletic" cut knickers. Been wearing them for 2 seasons now... Seat and thighs have more room... More expensive but very well made and durable.

Main thing about warm weather: make sure your uniform is not too tight, get air circulation around your body, and drink plenty of water!
