You're kidding, right? What if your one is defective and splits at the side seam (I had one do that this year)?

Sew it back together or buy another one.

Neither of which can be done during a pregame conference in the locker room.

Then you can pin it together or just wear it with a hole in it.

There may not be a "need" for more than one shirt (unless there are different requirements for patches that are mutually exclusive), but it sure is a pretty good idea to have a spare.

Wait....you guys wash your shirts?! During the season? Does this help? Is there a rule or case play you can cite?!?!

Actually, I am in JRut's land: 5 pairs of slacks 4 HS 5 College shirts. Although the HS shirts are the old Poly type and 2 "used" College shirts that you could say have been put out to "Patcher"?

Of course it is nice to have a backup. But there is no reason to ask someone "why wouldn't you have more than one shirt?" because no one actually needs to have more than one.

"No reason to ask?" Sure there is. A great reason to ask is because it's a really good idea to have more than 1. In fact, it's a really bad idea to have just one.

Why have one more reason to have someone say, "You stink."?

You've got an answer for everything, dontcha? OK, answer this one: how do you get off my ignore list?

Because, for most officials, the benefits of the second shirt are so far above the cost of the shirt, the incredulidity (word?) of the question makes perfect sense.

Now, if the OP said, "I have 11 shirts." and the response was "Why would you not have 12?", I'd agree with you.

I carry a small sewing kit in my bag, just in case. Only had to use it once in thirty years, but I'm glad that I had it.
