CCA Jacket

Just received my CCA jacket from Honigs today.

My wife thinks it's hideous.

It's not the best looking jacket in the world but I don't think it's that bad either.

But it doesn't matter, I'm just ecstatic that I needed to get one for this year.

Way to go!

I feel the same way - I'd wear a pink tutu if it meant the chance to call NCAA games.

I understand that the NCAA is considering making Women's Ballet a sanctioned sport. If this happens, they'll need referees and your pink tutu wish could become a reality.

BTW, wasn't that a pink tutu that Larks is wearing in his picture?

I'm just impressed that you used "hideous" and "ecstatic" in the same post - and you used them both properly and spelled them both correctly! A class act from start to finish. Great job.

Wives are funny that way. Mine is a bit of a shoe and sock fashion nazi. She's never liked white or black crew-length socks with black shorts for basketball. So I've adopted black ankle length to keep in her good graces. Well, actually I agree with her about that. When I told her the volleyball uniform is blue slacks with white shoes and socks, I was the victim of another fashion nazi tsunami.

I think I need to stop talking to her about official's gear entirely.

You could drop those last four words from your statement.

For those of you who haven't seen it, here's a link to view the jacket.

Looks like an umpire jacket to me.

She would suggest dropping the first two words from my statement as being patently untrue.

Um, thanks, I think. But it worries me that I was even in the running.

I've never seen an umpire's jacket up close so they may be the same way, but the first thing that struck me was, and this wasn't apparent from the pic in the catalog, that the shoulder stripes are of the same stretchy material as the cuffs.

Juulie - here's the new uniform Bruce is recommending for us this season. What do you think of it?

This is crazy! Just when I was about to post to this thread someone ran over and destroyed my mailbox! Fortunately, he didn't hit anything else.

Anyway, I got my jacket today too. It is ugly and heavier than the old one.
