What's in the bag?

I felt a bit weird the other night, when my jacket failed to match my two partners.

Flags?? And don't feel bad about the jacket....asking referees to match type of shoes and jacket is asking waaay too much and is unnecessary.

Edit: I thought he meant flags as in the kind soccer assistant referees use, not flags on the uniform. I still don't think having to match flag/flagless shirts should matter at all.

I don't. Never lost one (I hope I didn't just jinx myself). If you're prone to it, then do so.

I have a pair of glasses and sports goggles (in the same prescription as the glasses). Normally, I change to the goggles when I arrive on site and keep the glasses packed in the side pocket of my bad in a hard-shell protective case.

This weekend, however, I was halfway through my second game before I realized I was wearing my glasses instead of my goggles. At that point, I didn't bother changing.
