If you are referencing only the NF Mechanics, that might be a different story. I only worked with a handful of people that had them after I first started and those were usually old-timers that were not getting with the times and stubborn, but those were not varsity games either.

Peace
It was sub varsity, and my assigner even warned me before the game that my partner was of a different breed.

The same time firemen stopped wearing red suspenders.

Are we not supposed to be wearing them now? I usually pair mine with my flat front pants and belt.

What's wrong with flat front pants?

Nothing if it's not a basketball game. All of my casual and dress pants are flat front, and they have the pockets on the sides.

I know of about one guy that wears flat front pants in my area. Definitely the exception. The front western style pockets just look goofy.

I can't stand the look of pleats. All of my referee pants are flat front.

Well Cam Newton thought his pants looked good too, so there you go. ;)

Flat front slacks are cool. I wish my waist size was a few inches smaller than it is so I could wear them.

Not a style consideration. Basketball pants at most levels are pleated, beltless pants. Not really sure why I'd want to be different than the pack.

Not very many years/seasons ago, in my area, pleated slacks were not acceptable. Now, the common statement is that pleated slacks are the preferred wear. It all is cyclical, as are most fashion trends/norms.

Pleats look better on dudes like me that have a bit of a gut, too. :D

Well considering that most pants do not look that way of any kind. Flat fronts look like the guys that are in the movie of Donny Brasco or Goodfellas. It is just and old and outdated look. ;)

Outside of sports officiating, pleated pants are most definitely not the "In" fashion trend.
