I know some time ago, there was some information posted about where to get the patent leather shoes. I can't seem to find that info, and am interested in getting a pair. If I remember correctly, they were running about $80-90. Can anyone help? Thanks.

the only place I know of is http://www.theofficialschoiceinc.com

one thing about the patent leather
 

I had heard the NCAA now frowns upon these shoes because they 'draw attention away from the game and to the officials and their feet' or something to that effect. I don't know whether this is truth, fiction, or somewhere in between, but a few college officiating friends of mine have mentioned this.

I've not heard that. It could be a regional thing or a personal preference among assignors. But as far as I know, there is no NCAA-wide movement against them. Don't just take my word for it, tho!! Ask somebody important (that means, not ME! ;) ).

Up here in the northeast, we just got an email asking for our opinion on going to the gray shirt. I'll let you know if we make the switch, if anybody cares.

"I've not heard that. It could be a regional thing or a personal preference among assignors"

Actually, I think you're right, that it may be a preference here, as opposed to a nationwide NCAA movement. I should have been more clear in my original statements.

I'm in the Midwest.

The gray shirt? I like it, actually.

Make the switch. The shirt seems much lighter and cooler. The only drawback is that it accents those of us that are dietically challenged. :)

Well, anyway..... <b>I'm</b> looking for black patent-leather pants and a black&white striped collarless patent-leather shirt. With matching patent-leather earrings and a patent-leather motorcycle hat, of course. Gonna hang my whistle off a big gold chain too.

I know we've talked about it before, but since the subject is here...

I've been trying everywhere to find the patent Nike Shox, but all I can find are the regular ones. Help?

Have you tried places like Footlocker.com? It seems to me that was one of the places that was mentioned.
