Actually, I didn't notice that....Wasn't studying the picture quite as detailed as you apparently were

I just thought the entire getup was funny

Yeah - and imagine how much fun it's going to be to watch Wellmer work in that!

I was surprised recently to discover a partner in an AAU game wearing dress shorts with a belt. Seemed really weird.

I wear black basketball player style shorts to camps (drawstring, no pockets). Although I have discovered doing AAU this spring that I need to get some extra long shirts. My normal length shirts, which stay in place quite nicely inside my pants, don't want to stay in all the time in my shorts without the sans-a-belt waistband.

Hey, this guy gets around. AAU ball also and this guy always wears black golf shorts and a canvas belt with tan leather. I expect him to ask "Has anyone seen a titleist three"?

I does look strange.

I get long Nike black shorts to hide my chicken wing legs......

We have a guy who works only our local kids rec league and has never officiated anywhere else. He's a retired computer geek. He owns one jersey - it has a collar and a chest pocket. He wears pleated pants with cuffs and a belt. He has an old lanyard and a cheap plastic whistle. At least the pants, belt, lanyard and whistle are black. He also wears some old high top canvas gym shoes with dirty white laces, white soles and a white circular logo patch at the ankles. He wears horn-rimmed brown glasses with some kind of rubber nose protector. They fall off once or twice a game.

We don't want him to change a thing. He's precious.

BTW - he really does a good job.

The web site actually says black or dark blue shorts. Yeah, they mean athletic type shorts.
PS - Just don't forget your black string ties!!
