And here is the truth that your local peers won't tell you- DONT WEAR SHORT SHORTS! No one wants to see your thighs.

Can anyone give the name of a camp or your location where an assigner has told you it's OK to wear black socks? I have read camp information, received emails and been in meetings where it was made clear that we are to wear white socks but I've never heard it is OK to wear black socks. Sure, the socks do not make the official but an evaluator will notice this before you ever make a call and after the game he/she would probably tell you about the socks even though the official did a good job. This is just my experience and I would like to hear if anyone has been told specifically that it is OK to wear black socks.

Tee, I agree with you about the short shorts. I would like to know how many people wear coach's shorts. I know someone does on this board. But Tee I have to tell you something about comparing the socks we should wear compared to what players wear. When we officiate, we are not players!
