Equipment/Uniform Replacement

[BigJWalt]

As officials we tend to take pride in what we look like, regardless of cost. That being said, what do you make sure to replace on a yearly basis?

Myself, I buy a new pair of shoes every year. The previous year shoes become my rain shoes, and the previous year my pop warner shoes. Its a 3 year rotation, and you probably couldnt tell any of the 3 pairs apart I keep them so clean.

I also like a new flag, whistle, and at lease 1 pair of knickers. Thinking of it, I usually get a new hat each year too.
