Shirt Tucked In
 
Do any of you use anything to keep your shirts tucked in? I sometimes wear shorts, and sometimes don't use anything.

I have both kinds of rubber belts. One is the rubber with the holes in it. The other is the one with neoprene and velcro. I like the latter much better. If I don't use them my shirts come untucked and it really bothers me.

Get an extra long shirt, and then use garters to hold it down to your knee socks -- added benefit, keeps your socks up! I'm not saying I do this. Just a suggestion.

I too piced up the neoprene with velcro this yr and like it much better than the rubber belt with holes. That being said, I have been known to still do "the Welmer" every now and again to look sharp. ;)

Wait a minute! You wear pants when you officiate? What a concept! No wonder my legs get cold when I officiate. :D

I officiated in an AAU Girls' Nat'l. Champ. Tourn. years ago who did just that. I thought it was the stupidest thing I had ever seen, he was a much younger official than me.

Please don't tell us that you also, "Go Commando", at the same time.

I have no trouble keeping my shirts tucked in. I tuck them into my tights AND I usually wear the side panel shirts made by Officials' Choice. The side panel material is a stretchy fabric that stretches rather than pulls the shirt out. But not all side panel shirts have this separate material. Smitty, for example, doesn't.

Apology should be to all of us who read that post and got a mental image from it. :eek:

I tuck my shirt in my underarmour and then line the inside of my pants on the waistband with double sided tape.

Don't knock until you've tried it. I've tried the different belts and tucking into my UnderArmour, and some part would always show if I bent over to pick up a ball or something (same thing happened to Ed Hightower on a recent national TV game I was watching), sometimes they would ride a bit above the pants too. Of course, body type and build may have something to do with that as well.

So I went to the shirt garters and they are great. I don't attach them to my socks though, even though I wear OTCs - legs are too long. Instead, I attach the double ends to the back of my shirt (two on the right half, two on the left) and then loop the single end around my leg and attach to the front.

Works perfect; enough "give" to allow movement but never so much as to have either front or back come anywhere close to looking untucked.

I'm a believer!
