Back in the day, I used to carry flat front and pleated pants for the same reason.
Is that a requirement? If it is, what do you do when each of you have different style of shoes?

Peace

Watching a boys varsity game I noticed the two jv refs came out and sat for a spell . couldn't help but notice one of them had a humongous wheeled bag , and thought it was big enough to carry .... what ? Also noticed one ref now wore eyeglasses that he didn't wear during the game he worked !

I wear contacts only when I do games. They go in before pregame and come out during postgame. Glasses the rest of the time.
Maybe I'm giving an impression I didn't know I was giving???!!!

It's not a requirement. Why do you care what *I* do?

Dallas, Texas uses the gray shirt for varsity, stripes for sub-varsity.

Interesting. This year our chapter authorized the grey only for the semi-finals and finals of varsity tournaments.

Yeah I think it was decided on a whim at one of the early association meetings. The president just sort of blurted it out and people started looking at each other wondering if that's what he really said - gray shirts mandatory for varsity. They they repeated it at the next meeting, and it was done. It is purely an association thing. It worked out well - everyone had grays at all my varsity games. I always packed both shirts just in case. It looks sharp.

We did the same thing in Fort Worth, and it was said to us that it came down from the UIL. Next year we're wearing greys for varsity and possibly sub-varsity too.

That would make sense if it came down from UIL. The only thing we've heard is that this is subject to change. Guess I will hold off buying more shirts for now.
