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.

I find that a nail gun works best.

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 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.

Between the tension and friction, the belt itself doesn't move. It holds your shirt down and your pants up.
