Our new jackets for next year are the CCA jackets with the KHSAA Embroidered patch here in Kentucky. And our new shirts are the wide seam, with the embroidered KHSAA LOGO on the shirts as well. They were mandatory for state tourney this year and Mandatory for playoffs next year and mandatory for all games the year after. Someone is getting some big bucks for all this embroidered stuff. OUr Commish hates the grey so we will never go to it, but it sure does look a lot better than the stripes.

And on a side note I would automatically assume a college official is (and should) be a better official that a HS one (practically speaking not always true but this should be the case). Much like how an NBA player would be better than a college player.
You contradict yourself, your assumption that guy in jacket is better ref is exactly what many have a problem with, subtlety conveying that you're a better official than your partners. There is a reason they call it a uniform.

On another note, there is 'that guy' around here who does a handful of D3 women's games before massive crowds in the 50's at obscure schools in the boonies. We have bets on the over/under every time he mentions "in my college games" in pregame, it usually is around 10. He also gives the perception he's 'filling in the gaps' in his schedule around his college games.

They might not have enough money to buy 2 seperate jackets? If they are still doing HS games they must not get many college games and not have the extra money??? Jackets are expensive!

If you're doing college games you have money for a jacket.

If the KHSAA logo is covering the CCA logo, then it is not really a CCA jacket anymore...

I've never worked one HS varsity game where the cost of a jacket is more than the game fee.

Some officials are the cheapest people I know. It costs money to be an official.

Exactly. The OP isn't really about the jacket itself, it's about wearing something that most others don't wear and that is at a "higher level" than others wear.

Bingo, incredible, some guys have same pants from 10 years ago or shoes going on 5, 6 years And a few of them still do varsity.

I still think the saddest thing is that you continue to reference it as a point of (misplaced, IMO) pride.
