Shirt Stays
Does anyone have any recommendations on the best type of shirt stay to use (garter type which clips shirt to socks, velcro belt (like Shirt Keeper), rubber belt with nubs, other)? If so, what brand(s) would you recommend?

Thanks.

Keep it even simpler, get the stripes tattooed onto you. It will never come out and you eliminate the need for laundry.

Shirt Stay solution
I've purchased neattucks, which has an ad in Referee magazine. I ordered 2 pairs and like them much better than the foot stirrups or the the belt.

Neat Tucks - The Best Way To Keep Your Shirt Tucked In - Best way to keep shirts and uniforms tucked in

I saw a couple of my fellow officials with them and they make you look professional with the shirt being flat and tucked in (no blousing).

I find that a nail gun works best.

I use the same thing, maybe not the same brand but essentially the same. They eventually tear but it takes a long time. I get 7-8 years out of one.

Serious naive question. Do those things actually work(perfectly)? Seemed they'd move and do all sorts of annoying crap so I never tried.

I've never had a problem with mine. It also has the bonus effect of helping to keep my pants up.

Same here. I tend to lose them (No idea how) before they tear, and I've never had an issue with them moving up and down.

I'm not a scientist, so I think it's magic.

Super Tuks
Several years ago I purchased a pair of these and apparently the company's gone out of business. Still using them today and yes, they do a great job of keeping your shirt tucked in and looking good.
