Advice on dressing

[Rich]

I'm a big fan of the mesh hats -- I wore one in baseball this season and bought two (one black w/stripes, one white) for football. I also bought two traditional hats and haven't worn them.

Make sure you have all your little things -- here is my checklist:

First, the uniform. Undershirt (I wear a black McDavid), striped shirt, white compression shorts, socks, shoes, hats.

Then, the essentials in the ditty bag:

whistles and lanyards (I carry more than one and keep a backup in my back pocket)
down indicator
watch w/countdown timer
flags (personally, I carry a ball flag in my belt and a small flat one buried in my right back pocket)
beanbags (one in the belt, one in the right front pocket)
game cards (paper or plastic)
bullet pencils
linesman's clip

I also carry shower stuff and towels for varsity games.

Remember to have fun.
