Black or White Socks
Basic Question: Black or white sock with shorts and stripes for summer leagues?

If I was color blind it would not matter

Thanks!

White socks please. You look like an old man with your pants off if you have black socks with black shoes, shorts and a striped shirt.

Peace

Concur - white socks with shorts.

While I consider myself "middle-aged," I guess some of the younger officials could consider me "old"......and they don't wanna be seeing none of that!

Check local listings. Here, it's black socks, and I get to decide between looking old and looking out of place.

Disagree. You comment was actually quite good. It's nice to see someone competing with Mark Padgett for submitting humorous posts. He doesn't hold the monopoly on Official Forum humor. He thinks that he does, and sometimes we patronize him by allowing him to think he does, but he really doesn't. And I know that he won't see this because I've been on his ignore list since 2005. Now if I could just figure out out to put him on my ignore list, then both of us will be happy posters.

Now, now gentlemen (and I use the word gentlemen very loosely) you need to shake hands and play nicely.

To compete with the great Padgett. I am not sure if after 90 posts can I compete with the almighty one !!!!! However it is an honor to be considedered in the same breath with the godfather of the basketball message board on officiating.com ........

At this point I should just retire and hold my head high !!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know about the price, though.

We use white socks; preferably ankle socks.
