It's a high school game in California, they are just wearing the side panels shirts.

That makes the antics look even more foolish. College officials dancing around like jumping jack flash on a high school court.

Just because it is southern California, doesn't mean they are college officials.

The shirt is optional here, I carry one in case that is the only style my partner has.

I saw that too but I figured a guy that acts like that just bought the NCAA shirt because it was the "cool" one to wear.

Exactly. Some people just thing that wearing the next level shirt will make people think they are a better ref. It just might work until you make a call on a pogo stick.

LOL...exactly.

I cringe when I see guys wearing anything other than Fed shirts for h.s. level or lower.

There's a lot to be said for "faking it til you make it", but, that is counterproductive.

You'd hate it here then because the required uniform for varsity is not a "Fed" shirt.

What are "fed" shirts?

We wear gray, or B/W stripes, depending on the decision of the R for the night. I still haven't decided what I'm wearing tonight.

Further, after a season of fighting the battle, the wide panels were allowed as long as everyone matches.

First of all, isn't everyone in Cali an actor/waiter?

To answer the questions at the start of the video:
The crew needs to do a better job ref'ing primaries. In 2-person, the L is responsible for this play. In 3-person the L is responsible. The T had a partially obstructed view of the defender who had started to grow roots he was there for so long.

It really looks like a set up, maybe Joey Crawford was the director?

Around here everyone wears the wide panel shirts. I will take the regular shirt every now and then, but 99 percent of the time it's wide panel.

That is what I want to know. I see all kinds of colors and styles worn in many situations. You wear what you are allowed to wear in your local area. I think people worry too much about silly things that have no significance. We wore the shirt until they told us to stop wearing it when they first came out. And apparently only one of our administrators objected to them so we were not allowed overall. If they changed tomorrow I would wear that shirt as I have many of them.

Peace
