Bag

[26 Year Gap]

I have seen camo bags, Red Sox bags, Yankees bags, very small bags that only hold shoes because the guy came to the game site in uniform, and others that scream out "I have moved up as far as I want to move up".

Since I lived in snowy northern VT, I preferred a duffel that had a shoulder strap as opposed to dragging a wheeled suitcase through slush & snowbanks. I may switch that in FL, however. Ask members in your association who do not use items in the 1st paragraph.

Now lets' not start that topic again.

26 Year Gap: When I saw your username, I thought for sure that you would be telling us how warm it was in Florida. Thanks for not sharing.

Well, I am in NC for a few days. Will finish the trip later this week.

Wait a minute. Wasn't the guy going dressed to games from North Carolina? You are definitely yanking our chain. Cut it out. That topic was closed a few weeks ago. Let it go.

I am visiting family. The guy was from la-la-land, I believe.

I don't necessarily agree with this. Years ago, virtually everyone, including D1 officials in this area, used duffel bags embroidered and ordered by a former Southwest Conference official who owned a ref supply store. One exception was a fellow by the name of Sonny Holmes, who worked in the SWC, Metro, maybe SEC, and probably another league or two that isn't around or has expanded. Anyway, Sonny was the first guy I ever saw using a rolling bag. It looked odd at the time, but now that's about all anyone around here uses. He was well ahead of his time.

Bottom line: get what works best for you. Ebags.com is a pretty good site to look for various kinds of bags.

I agree. No one here cares what bag you use. There are guys who have association logos on their bags. For the most part, everyone uses either a black duffel or black rolling suitcase, but it really isn't a hard and fast rule to use what the varsity guys use.

I use this bag, except mine is the large size not the medium....

Agreed. I bought a Wilson gym / travel / sport bag (reasonably similar, but better, of course, to the Addidas pictured above) at Target 13 years ago for something like $15. It still works just fine.

It never is a hard and fast rule. It's just a good idea in most cases. That said, if you think something else works better, use it as long as it looks professional.

I would go with the luggage bag with wheels it looks a lot my professional. IMO duffel bags look like you are going to play basketball not referee it.
