NFL Stripes

[Forksref]

I see the NFL has put a stripe on the knickers of the officials, the result of which is to bring more attention to them. If this continues they will look more like a Canadian ref or a slow-pitch softball player! Yuck!

I believe that "less is more" when it comes to looking professional.

I hope this doesn't trickle down to FED ball, although at our state rules meeting they said that we can wear a black hard-shell pant when it is cold. That is just garbage. That has the look of a flag football ref. I've reffed in 9 degrees F and never got cold when I dressed in layers with long Johns.

I see the officials losing credibility by making the uniform look cheap. As officials, I don't think we need to get jump into the latest fad.
