Big 12 officials... Shorter sleeves

I know some officials prefer the 'fitted' look, but why does it seem that all Big 12 officials have ridiculously short tight sleeves? Are they all Hochuli wannabes, because their supervisor certainly is no Adonis.

This was especially apparent during last night's semifinal...

If you work out and have a shirt that fits, why would you wear a shirt that is too big?

Peace

Muscular officials that have fitted shirts are "Hochuli wannabes"?

Personally I think it is a good thing to have officials that care about their fitness. Busting out of your shirt because your arms are muscular is a lot better than many officials that have a belly hanging out of their shirt. I guess that is just me.

let me clarify...

Would you both agree that Mr. Hochuli was the first to wear a shirt that was cut to accentuate his arms? That's what I meant.

As for muscular officials, I'm all for guys that can keep up with the speed of the game, and Rut, yes, I'd prefer that over guys with big guts.

My observation was more about sleeve length...their sleeves all seem to be shorter...

You have a bigger chest and shoulders, your sleeves are going to come down shorter. Unless you make something purposely buy shirts that have longer sleeves (which is not how they are made that I can tell), that is how they are going to look. And I do not see the big deal.

Rose Bowl R either turns his black cuffs up under or had them removed.
