Odd question about pants

[cmhjordan23]

How many pairs of pants do most officials have? Obviously you need more shirts than pants because of sweat. I am thinking about getting a 2nd pair of Sansabelt. Or is 1 pair enough and just wash them once a week?

- washing them after every game. In the thick of the season I will be doing 10 games a week. By the end of the week my pants would be able to drive to the site and possibly call a better game on their own than me if I were to wash them once per week. You can't go wrong with more than one pair of pants - that second pair will come in handy when you have a wardrobe malfunction.

I have 4 pair of pants, and I change after every 2 or 3 games.

4-5 pairs, worn once then washed. I can't imagine anyone wearing one pair all week (several games) and not washing them.

Additionally, I think it is advisable to have more then one pair if only as a backup....you never know when something might happen to your single pair that makes them unusable.

And for that matter, I usually keep a spare bag with a complete uniform in my trunk through the entire season (usually my oldest shoes, shirt, pants). That serves as a backup in case I forget something, some item becomes unusable, or for a parnter. It has come in handy 2-3 times over the years. I don't have to carry it in/out of every game but I can get to it if needed.

+1 on packing an extra bag
I own 3 pairs of pants, I wear compression tights underneath, so I can wear the same pants a couple times before washing again.

I work about 50 games (dates) a season. I always have 2 pair and they never get worn twice without being washed.

I buy 2 new pair of pants every season.

I don't care what you wear underneath, the a$$ of those pants is going to STINK.

Don't you wash the tights? So why not throw the slacks in as well?

Some of you people are buzzards!
