I need some slacks, a new shirt, a new lanyard, and a new wistle. I can get the shirt lanyard and wistle from just about anywhere but the slacks im lookg for are all sold out. I need these by may and espcially by june for the camp im going to.... where do you guys go when Honigs isnt there?

I use Purchase Officials Supplies (Barberton, Ohio) and its Florida distributor Torch's Referee & Umpire Supplies, almost exclusively. For IAABO stuff I go with The Official's Choice. But Purchase Officials Supplies and its regional distributors have the best quaility and prices.

Im in texas

Purchase Officials Supplies delivers all over the country.

You can try http://www.dddsportswear.com

You can also just go to yahoo.com and just do a search for "referee apparel" and you'll get an enormous amount of hits.

However - Honigs is the best.

Question - does your league not provide you the official's jersey/whistle/lanyard? Mine does, but I bought my own. They use that dreaded collared shirt, a pea whistle, and an 'around the neck' lanyard. I got a V-neck, FOX40 whistle, and a 9" smitty lanyard.

BTW,

where in Texas do you live? I'm a native Texan - was born near Corpus Christi, but I also lived in a suburb about 30 minutes north of downtown Dallas, in Collin County. What part are you from?

Take your pick.
 

Basketball stuff can be bought anywhere.

Gerry Davis Sports (the best for Basketball stuff in my opinion.

+POS

Official's Choice

Purchace Officials Supplies

GetOfficial.com.

You can buy stuff just about anywhere. It just comes down to what you are looking for. It is really the quality of the stuff that is important, not the place you get it from.

Peace

I like Honigs pricing too cant beat that get official is too danged expensive - i need somethig that'll last me a good two years too. Well yes, the rec league did provide.. but im moving up next year to an independt assigned association (they have an assignor for all the junior high games but you can also just go driect to the schools) so im on my own. Beisdes - i love my v-kneck mico mesh too much to give it up.

I need the slacks for the Rice camp. and i figure why i am at it just get a whole package. wisthle and lanyard are shwoing age and my shirt is good but i need an extra

Hey Rut,

Just looking at your signature, and I'm wondering...how big is YOUR afro?

Enquiring Canadian minds wanna know...eh?

:D

ace,

There is a purchase official's supply rep in Houston. His name is Steve Oaks and his phone number is 281-812-4691.

Good question.
 

I do not have one right now. But I might sometime in the future. :D

Peace

Gerry Davis Sports has fast become a leader in basketball apparel. It helps having Tom O'Neill orchestrating the wants and needs of the basketball official.

You just need to have black shorts for the Rice camp. Slacks are not required or expected.
