NJFOA - "No shorts"

[BktBallRef]

Shorts can be worn at any level except varsity.

Back in CNY we could wear shorts (white with the striped knee sox)
at any level as long as the entire crew were wearing them. It did
not happen often because of the weather.
Down here in SW FL-- black shorts and white crew sox are worn
at sub-varsity level. Regular white knickers and striped sox are
the uni for varsity. The (lame) excuse is that for varsity games we
should look "professional". I'm thinking--- does that make it OK
to be "unprofessional" for the sub-varsity games ?
Personally, I don't like the looks of the black shorts/white crew sox.

Just one old official's opinion.

On the "new NFL uniforms" thread, I mentioned that I had seen clips of VaTech games from the early 80's recently where the R had on white shorts and had no placket on his shirt.

What conference, if any, was VaTech in before the Big East? Apparently, they allowed shorts at the D1 level back then.

Looked pretty amateur, though.

Same in KY, when I wear shorts in lower level games, I wear black socks, not my varsity game sock up to my rear end, that does look horrible.
