Valentines shoes on ESPN

[Rich]

The NCAA rulebook specifies details on the uniform....except it doesn't mention the shoes at all.

The NFHS manual says shoes shall be primarily black with black laces. Not all black.

From the CCA 2016-17 Men's Basketball Officiating Manual for a Crew of 3:

Section 4, Article 4. Equipment and Uniform (pg 40):

B. The uniform for all games shall be CCA-approved black and white vertically striped knit V-neck shirt, short sleeves approximately 8 inches in length with black cuff, no pocket, black trousers (no flares), black belt or beltless, black socks, black shoe strings, and solid black shoes or shoes approved by an individual conference. All officials must be the same. The shirt shall be worn tucked inside the trousers. A manufacture's logo no larger than 2 1/4 square inches can visible on the shirt (back).

Thanks. I wasn't interested enough to look past the rules book.

But there's no way that the B1G (for example) is going to tell the officials that they all have to wear the same shoes. Just isn't going to happen.

As long as the shoes are mostly black, I'm not sure why anyone would care.

Who. Cares.

There are some uniform "traditions" that need to die. All-black shoes is one of them (in SC we still have to wear all-black shoes in football). No sunglasses for football is another one.

Had high school coach say to me: How can officials enforce uniforms rules for players, if they aren't wearing proper uniform ("entirely black shoes and socks")?

Shoes which are specifically not allowed "don't matter." A belt which specifically is allowed matters very much.

Interesting.

Not at all interesting to me.

Nobody wearing a belt would get HIRED at the D-1 level. The same people making those decisions may or may not care about shoes.

"or shoes approved by an individual conference" is good enough for me.

Must be a state rule. NFHS manual says primarily black shoes, not entirely black shoes.

Interesting: 12/13 book says:
2.1. ART. 1

The official's uniform shall be a black-and-white striped shirt, black pants, entirely black shoes and socks.
When did this change?
