What's in the bag?
Hola,
Besides toiletries and a change of clothes, what's in your bag? I have two pairs of pants, two shirts, two socks, two undershirts, two compression shorts, a plethora of whistles and lanyards, extra shoe laces, contracts, rules books, mints, ranking cards (our officiating number that coaches use to rank us online). Wish I had a court diagram to go over coverages and situations. My big reason for this post, is do I "need" two pairs of shoes? Also, if you wear contacts or glasses, do you bring a spare set? I wear a mostly black pair of somewhat athletic shoes to the contest that could be an emergency fill in. Curious what I can add to the bag, pfan

I pack only what I need for the game: pants (1 or 2); shirts (usually at least 2), compression shorts, undershirt, 1 pair of socks, couple whistles, toiletries, 2 towels (sweat & shower), clean underwear, and rule books.
I keep a permanent spare bag in my trunk with old an shirt, pants, sneakers, socks, whistle, and towel.

I opened my earlier afternoons to help our assignor, by working more sub-varsity games with all the new officials we have in our area. Some of my colleagues think I'm extreme to carry 2 assn. jackets, but, this season, I've already had 3 occasions to lend one to a partner so we could go out with jackets on. And, I loaned one to a friend that followed me, and had left his at a previous gym . . . Several years ago, my partner opened his bag and realized he'd grabbed his football gear, so he dressed in my extra pants, shirt and jacket, and my game shoes - I polished my street Nikes and wore them. I guess it's just the old boy scout motto in me . . .

I like that my uniform isn't stuffed into a small bag, and that my assn. jacket(s) don't come out all wrinkled when I get to a game site. For the last several years, most of the officials in our area are using similar cases.

I highly recommend a Texas Fold-em --- does a great job keeping everything wrinkle free...

Sad story......
Last Fri I was assigned a tourney game between two very good private schools. Get to the game and the R says, "you have a patchless shirt don't you?" Me - "I carry lots of spare everything." (as is alluded to in this thread, I carry two of almost everything). But, in this case, NO PATCHLESS SHIRT, as I rarely do private schools. So, during the pre-game, I am metculously cutting off the patch from one of my shirts, with my ole Swiss Army Knife. Just shows to go you......even the best prepared.......ouch!

What about those who wear glasses and contacts? Do you pack a spare set?
Our area has adopted, "Pull three people from any area for any given night" philosophy, what are the odds of some refs having flags/no flags, pullover/zip up jacket, different shoes, etc. I felt a bit weird the other night, when my jacket failed to match my two partners.

In HS games I do like for us have the same type of shirt (sidepanel,non-side panel, or new VHSL shirt).

The local board I don't work for has made it mandatory for all their officials (Varsity, at least) to wear the new shirts. The board up north I work for only has made it mandatory to wear the new patch on the old shirt.
