I have been watching the World Junior Hockey Championships, and have noticed that the officials are wearing ads on the front and backs of their jerseys. I am wondering what is the general thought about officials being used in the advertising process, and would you wear an ad if you had the option??

Hey, I already advertise for IAABO and MIAA -- and I don't even get paid for it. You wanna give me an extra $20k a year and I'll wear your Gillette patch.

I have a serious question (seriously) for Mr. Charles Elias- member of IAABO Western Massachusetts District Board #31: Do you have byron collars on your IAABO shirts? Do you wear navy blue or black slacks with your IAABO shirt?

Not funning, Chuck. I'd really like to know.

NO...

This is AMATUER sports... allowing ads in HS is just another symptom of our deteriorating society (topic for discussion on a different forum )

I realize that I am viewed as a traditionalist or a purist or even more harshly as a "fuddy-duddy" et al.... I refuse to surrender or "sell-out" on my ideals.

For those that may recall, we had a lengthy thread on the decision of ESPN to nationally broadcast "King James" HS games last year. I was one of very few who objected that as well.

If Chuck wears a byron collar or blue slacks (especially with a belt) we will kick him out of Massachusetts.

V-neck shirts, JR. Patches for HS games with fellow IAABO officials. No patches for college games or for HS games with non-IAABO officials.

Haven't worn the navy blue pants since being cut from a certain league in February.

Are you telling me that there was still some people wearing the blue pants with the grey shirts (with the blue collars)?

Well Mark, I'm telling you and Chuck to open up your 2003-2004 IAABO Handbook to page 2 and read the following under "IAABO Uniforms":
The approved official IAABO uniform, for men and women, established by the Executive Committee of IAABO shall be:
(1) Long navy blue or black slacks.
(2) Light grey short sleeve shirt with navy blue collar, sleeve cuffs, or black/white striped shirt with black collar, and sleeve cuffs."


Apparently, if either of you aren't wearing shirts with byron collars, you are officially out of uniform!

Only in a pro league that I worked briefly. I was intentionally vague, sorry. Didn't want to sound like I was trying to be a big dog.

Nah. Just had some fun using their rules for a while.

That's pretty darn funny, JR. I don't even have an IAABO handbook. Guess I'll have to turn in my patches. Black pants and V-neck shirt. I'm so ashamed

In the same sense that people "look at" car wrecks on the highway maybe....
