Nope. I am a colourful guy. All of my shirts are loud. I wear a uniform all day everyday so when I dress up that is how I express myself. If I happen to wear a colour that matches the team one night ( happened recently at a college game) then it happens.

I wear a white dress shirt to games. I have yet to hear someone imply I am rooting for the home team.

To be honest, I've never thought about it, but I will say this: when it's 10 below zero (like it will be on Friday night up here) NOBODY cares what color your coat is. Warmth trumps fashion.

As for shirts, as long as you don't have a school logo on your shirt (even if it's not one of the schools you're officiating that day, it's probably not a great idea to wear a shirt from another school in their conference, for example), you'll be fine. This is not a problem for me, as I don't have any school-logo shirts, except for a few old college sweatshirts that I don't wear in public anymore.

There was a crew here a few years back that intentionally wore the home school's colors as there clothing going into school...

Such a fun district to live in...

I guess wearing apparel with your association logo on it is about as neutral as anything.

It's never a good idea to wear a KU jacket or shirt to a jv/high school game just across the border in Missouri. Especially to a rural Missouri school.

I'm sure now that some will use this as the excuse reason they show up already wearing the stripes.

I have in the past. Not a major decision but it crosses my mind. It really depends on the game and if it is a rivalry. But honestly this is rare I think of this at all.

Peace
