officials shirts

[Larks]

I try to add a shirt or two every season. When you start workingg 3 - 5games per week, 1 or 2 uniforms wont be enough. Wear and tear both from use / sweat and washing will take its toll.

Stop running and you won't sweat.

Or better yet, shower with your uniform on. Then when you get home you'll only have to put it in the dryer. Or even better yet, shower with it on, keep it on, and let it dry, then you can wear it to your next game, if you work in just another ref's association. But that's for another thread. Never mind.

You've been talking with Padgett way too much!

To actually repsond to the original post, mesh shirts are certainly legal FED uniforms. I have 3 polyester and 1 mesh... however I'll probably add another one. They're pretty comfortable.

A very experienced assignor around here told me the mesh tend to snag easier than others, though they're comfortable as all get out. Sure enough, yesterday my latest mesh acquisition got a few pulls after just a few weeks of use -- apparently a chest-pocket zipper on a fleece jacket I wore briefly was the culprit. Any thoughts by the collective wisdom on the pros and cons of mesh or not?

Both mesh and poly have their good and bad points. To me it's just preference and the temps where you're gonna work.

They do snag from time to time. But I do not wear them to games, so it is not a problem.
