Unless he was talking about the great Reggie Roby! Sadly, he's passed on.

Because the dead are the only ones who won't object to wearing this new jacket.

Well, I think that they're cute.

Of course not.

Also, some assembly required.

Is this the start of an Andy Rooney monologue?

Wanna buy a marital aid from JR's Sex Emporium and Fried Chicken Hut for that special someone close to you? Takes two tractor batteries, but they're not included.

More than likely, it was pushed by the maker or distributor of the jacket. The people making the decision probably were wined and dined and didn't see that $50 a person was that big a deal. Now, a few thousand referees have to go out and buy a $50+ jacket that they would not have otherwise purchased....and the company's revenues are enhanced by tens of thousands of dollars (likely well over $100k by the time it permeates D2, D3, and NAIA).

Even though it is no more expensive to manufacture than a $20 jacket, they have an exclusive deal so they can charge $50+.

Eh - just take your old jacket and put a few pieces of masking tape on it.

Of course, if any of you are unwilling to shell out the $50-60 for the new jacket and want to step down, feel free to let your assignors know that I'm willing to take a spot on any DI, DII, DIII or NAIA staff.
