If everything is two by two, might it then be inferred that everything is unclean? I guess carrying seven and seven indicators would be a bit bulky in the ol' ball bag though. :D

Agreed. I started out umpiring wearing Sears Long Johns underwear for the leg guards, because I couldn't stand the feeling of the straps against my bare skin. When Strongen invented the tights/cup combo, I switched over. The latest ones I wore were the McDavid Hex Pad ones. If you buy those, buy a size down, as they are a bit larger than advertised.

I also cut out the toes of a pair of socks and roll them up on my ankle above my shoes to prevent my pants from getting stuck inside the back of my shoes. Especially works well when I call basketball, those pants always get stuck inside the back lip of the shoes.


Nylons huh. Don't let Mark Padgett on the Basketball Forum hear that. He likes to wear fishnet hose while officiating basketball. :D
