Question

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?

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

Got it off the back of their add in Referee Magazine.
This is the number that's listed now716)-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.

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.

Question

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.)
