Christmas Time!!
 
So, the guy I have umpired baseball with for 3 years, and officiated basketball with for 2, and I are working our last basketball game together for a while on Thursday. We have done roughly 200 games over the last 2 years, and as a great Idea, and being it's Christmas time, We decided we should wear Santa Claus hats on thursday for our JV boys game! ROFL. any thoughts? :p

There is nothing in life too serious.

That's right, all you scrooges... nothing.
Including officiating.

I say go for it.

(This thread ought to be a doozie...)

I worked with a partner last week that told me he has a brother that in IN. The association in the month of December works all games wearing a RED and White striped shirt instead of Black and White.

swkansasref33 Wed Dec 19, 2007 01:16am

tahts crazy... hopefully the assoc. pays for the red and white shirts?

The issue is not what we think. It is what the people you work for think. I think it is an interesting idea, but I am not the one that is going to ding you for it one way or another. I would not personally do it because I think we should maintain some professionalism unless I was given and OK from an assignor or school. Ultimately this comes down to how it will be received and if there are ramifications as a result. I cannot make that decision for you.

Peace

Actually, I don't care what those people think and they know it because I've made that clear to them. :)

Thus wonderful freedom is enjoyed.

Scrapper1 Wed Dec 19, 2007 08:47am

Freedom is great, but I like my officiating schedule.

JoeTheRef Wed Dec 19, 2007 09:02am

Wreck ball yes. College or high school, shoot even middle school, a big NO. I'm with Scrap, I value my officiating schedule to much.

I'd compromise and wear the hats onto the court, but take them off prior to game start. Running up and down the court w/ them would look somewhat foolish....is there a ruling against officials wearing something not regulation?

The FED lays out the basic uniform in rule 2-1-1. Most states/associations lay out an explicit dress code for their officials. Violations of those dress codes would be addressed by the individual state/association also.
