Does anyone know where I can purchase the shirts the ACC refs are wearing with the wide black inserts under the arms?

Maybe the Officials Choice...not sure though. By the way, I noticed today that their standard shipping costs went up. It is now 10.88. Unreal!!! If you were to buy a 3-pack of Fox40 whistles it'd freaking cost something like 24 bucks. Their shipping costs are a joke!

Im not saying this: "I called and ordered over the phone, and he gave me shipping for 6.99." I dont know if they do this on all orders, but he did mine.

tjones1,
I actually called Fox 40 directly and ordered some CMG whistles. At first when I said I wanted two, she thought I meant two cases, but they did send them. If I remember correctly, they charged about 2 bucks for shipping. I wasn't paying 6.99 for shipping and I'm sure not paying 10.88.

How much does a case cost and how many whistles does that include?

How much did they charge per whistle when you got just 2?

One other question refnev, did you call the Fox40 office in the States or the office Canada

I just bought a dozen Classics for $39.60 + $2.00 S&H. You can buy them by the unit, as well.

What phone number did you use?

Got it off the back of their add in Referee Magazine.
This is the number that's listed now:(716)-298-1129.I think there may be a number on there website, too. I wish Gus Doerner or Hibbetts would start carrying the CMGs!

I got mine from my wife. She slit the side seams, aligned the two nearest black stripes and sewed them back together. Makes for a nice taylored fit too.

Am I reading your username right? Does it say "hoosierdaddy"? That may be the best I've seen. Ha ha ha ha ha.

refnrev,

Do you remember how much a case of Classic whistles cost direct from them and how many are in a case?? Depending on the cost, I'd be willing to buy a case and split it with someone. Any takers?

How much were the CMG's??? I think they must be cheaper in a case especially direct from the manufacturers, I think I might have to drive down and pick up a box.

I don't know how much the CMG's were by the case. They charged me the regular price for the singles. I don't remember what they were then -- it was three years ago. I do know they were cheaper than some of the retail prices I've seen on websites from other companies. After using a CMG, I don't want to go back to the classic, but nearly all of the guys I work with still use the classic. My CMG is three years old and I have two spares in my bag(along with about 4 classics and 1 amce tornado.)

I also remember that when I called there were two numbers. Thie first one I called was in Canada and the company representative referred me to New York.

hooiserdaddy,
You a Toby Keith fan? Didn't he just write a song about you? hahahaha

A box? How many CMGs does one referee need. They are all but indestructable. In fact, I found mine in the front pocket of my pants this morning when I took them out of the dryer. Didn't even taste like Tide. :D

Sure, but I was looking at it from the angle of being from Indiana and the father of 5 sons. Got my own basketball team........

So has anyone found these shirts?

Do we have any D1 referees who read this board, who have worn the shirts??

I haven't worn the shirts but I'm a rookie in the Colonial and the Big South which is in a coalition with the ACC. I will ask someone about the shirts in the next couple of days. I didn't find anything about the shirts on the website and there wasn't anything said about the shirts at our meeting.

One of the refs in the ACC told me that the shirt they are wearing is different, they are forced to wear it and it is very hot. I don't know for certain if it is available for purchase or not but the fact that he told me it is hot is a turn off.

Not so sure why that is funny. Maybe it is because I am from Indiana.
