How many varsity officials have you seen wearing all weather jackets with ties at the bottom?

This is where I agree that we should wear a basic style the same, but to match the exact jacket is silly.

Just like we all do not wear any type of striped shirt, we wear a V-neck shirt in most cases, but the fabric might be slightly different from one person to another. Or we wear pants without belts, but no one cares if we wear Sansabelt vs. Gerry Davis Pants or even Honigs as long as you look basically the same.

Peace

just one.
and he's done multiple state playoff games in 3 different districts and never heard a word about it. (pssst, it's me)
so, all this "get the right jacket if you want to advance crap" is silly.

NOW - if my assignor, district rep, OR governing state association noted that it wasn't approved...then that'd be a different story.

+1 what he said.

The jacket is not meant to be worn outside. It lives in my bag and is worn about 30 minutes and goes back in my bag at halftime.

Several of our guys wear them to and from gym. I don't bc I just don't but it's not really that frowned on here
