Exclamation

Officials Choice Sale: Shirts at $15 and SHIPPING at $16. Plus, they got really defensive when I emailed them and brought it up. Now they are trying to buy my silence with a free shirt! LOL My advice: BOYCOTT OFFICIALS CHOICE!

Honig's is the most consistently reliable for good service and reasonable prices. I don't even look anywhere else.

Honig's has absolutely bent over backwards for me in returning items to get the correct sizing (seems the pants run a bit smaller than my jean size). And when I intially called them, they referred to their other store which would serve my area better. I've purchased all my football and basketball gear from them and haven't been dissappointed with either their service, friendliness or shipping times and expense.

I only wish they had a better bag selection. Next season I'm grabbing a +pos bag.

Honig's gets the thumbs up! Unless something significant happens, they have a life long customer here.

If you don't even look anywhere else, how can you substantiate your first sentence? lol

I'm not saying Honig's isn't a very good, reputable company, just being picky here lol

I can agree with that. I've had issues with other places before (not naming names), but I have had nothing but good experiences with Honig's.

Well I have ordered from many places over my years as officiating. I have at one time had a problem with all of them at least once about something. I ordered from one place recently with a big order from they totally screwed it up.

What I have found is that depending on the sport some places do better than others. Or they have better quality for one particular sport and not such good quality stuff in another sport.

Peace

No, I will be attending the Class AA Tournament the following weekend. The Big Ten Tournament goes on the same weekend as the Class A Finals. I go to the Big Ten Tournament every year and this year will not be any exception.

Peace

I wish.

I can guess who will be there. Ed Hightower, Donny Gray, Teddy Valentine, Ted Hilary and a couple of other guys I cannot remember their name (that have worked every year I have been attending). It should be especially interesting this year.

Peace

Purchase Officials prices almost always beats Honig's.
