Oh my fault! Good to hear from you Snaq! I've been absent for several weeks.

I can't seem to stay away. I must be addicted, but I've given up soda for lent and I'm not about to let go of another vice until I get past the shakes.

Chiming in.....
 
I use the Fox 40 Classic and the Mini also.......both with mouth guard.

Our Rec League distributes free shirts and whistles to our new refs annually. They got those playground, big-kid whistles and thick nylon lanyards. The whistle sound like something a traffic cop uses (not that there's anything wrong with that). I usually take a few for my bag in case anyone forgets to bring one to a game during the yr.

When In My Little Part Of Connecticut ...
 
Evaluators suggested that I switch from a Fox Mini to a Fox Classic at the beginning of the season. It took a few games to get use to the larger size, but people say that I've got a big mouth, so I adjusted easily.

Many associations participated in Blow the Whistle on Cancer. Contributions to the American Cancer Society got you a pink [or white] whistle to use during a designated time period which was usually one week.

We have a supersectional game in Illinois on St Paddy's day, I know two of the crew, would love to give them green whistles........which of course they wouldn't use.

Being Canadian, I know the Fox owners personally and I've heard on good authority that the next colours are found here:
