I recommend that you take a nice pair of black jeans and just cut off the pant sleeves to an acceptable length. This way they are tailored to your preference.

You got pants with legs and sleaves? Sure you're not wearing long underwear?

Yeah, and make sure your white socks are knee high!
Some of the kids now days thinks that's really "sick"!

Because they make you look like you're a tourist.

Picture grandpa wearing dress socks with tennis shoes, or worse...loafers, with shorts. Total mismatch. Now all you need is the tropical shirt and sunglasses to finish the package.

Contrary to some people's beliefs, you are supposed to wear white socks with shorts. Asking about this is like asking why don't we wear white socks with pants. Sometimes you just have to go with the majority if you don't know.

Talking thanks for the laughs
I have a lot going on right now and this post has just made my day. Thanks for the laughs, my gut is hurting so much right now - I think I woke up the kids laughing so loud.

Or, buy the pants they sell to wrestling refs, cut part of the legs off, make shorts out of them, and then use the unused fabric to make belt loops on coaches shorts. If you want to go beltless, be sure the coaches shorts are tight, otherwise they slip like crazy.
This is just way too funny!!!

listen...

if you are going to wear shorts at a camp and wear black referee shoes, you will look like a dope with ANY type of white socks on...

get black ankle-length athletic socks (adidas)...they look alot better and you will be up-to-date...

How long have you been officiating? If you go to a camp with any number of officials and you wear black socks you will be the one looking like a dope! The normal thing we do is wear white socks with shorts. Have you been to a camp where the majority of officials are wearing black socks? If so, what part of the country to you live in?

Pants - black socks
Shorts - white socks
