Just got word that the "Santa" that bought me the 32" LCD HDTV will also be buying a new pair or two of referee slacks. So, I'm going to need recommendations please. The pair of pants I've used the last 3-4 years are just a cheap pair of pants I bought from a department store. I want to go with those pants without the belt loops that seems to be everyone's favorite, but not sure what it is. Thanks!

Most people wear either the Honig's Pleated, Sansabelt, or Smitty. You can do a forum search to see the discussion we've had in the past on all these slacks.

Can't go wrong with either Sansabelts or Smittys. Never wore Clif Keens but they have been around for a long time. But remember beltless have to be tighter than belted pants or you will have a problem before the first quarter is over.

Hey M&M do you really think Santa believes TJ1 needs more stuff? Of course I know he is short on whistles... can't have more than what... oh 2 dozen or so?

I've seen them on the Gerry Davis website. The shirts and logo on them look really nice; however, you're right, they aren't cheap - $47.

The rumor floating around our association is the logo is going to be required next year, on the chest and left sleeve (replacing the patch). I find that hard to believe considering I would figure they'd give us a little time to phase out the patch. In addition, I hope if they go away from the patch that they don't make us buy from Gerry Davis. I really like the OC's shirts. Although, I don't know where you'd get the logo from... I suppose time will tell.

I think I'm down to about 15 or so.... I threw six or seven away at the beginning of the season (all were cracked). Don't plan on re-stocking until I go through what I have

Rumor I heard was that they were required for play-offs this year, but haven't heard anything about next year. You have to wonder about them being required and Gerry Davis having an exclusive on them..... hmmm????

I certainly haven't heard that... interesting. I hope it's not true.

It certainly does make you wonder.... time will tell!

Makes as much sense as the Baden balls. Do you dislike them as much as I do?
