New NFL Unis

[JasonTX]

On the NFL.com site click the link for "Director of Officiating" on the right hand side. I don't like the new shirts. They look like a tuxedo. It'll all take a while to get used to.

I just wonder if/when these modifications, especially the pants, will trickle down to the college and HS ranks.

Pereira said he wasn't looking for stylish.

No sh**, Mike.

I like the cold-weather uni, especially the collar. Not sure about the pants, I like the black, I just worry about Barry Bonds-like pajama folding at the bottom.

The number/position combo on the back is horrible. Just really poorly done and amateurish. And the number on the sleeve looks like it's a tribute to someone who died.

IMHO, they could have done the exact same thing with the new fabrics and stuff in the same style as before.

Just remember while you buy how many new pairs of socks every year at around $5 a piece, I'm still using the same stirrups I started officiating with and I got them from a vetran official for free.

All I have to buy are 99 cent socks and I go through about 5 pairs a year.

I'm happy with the stirrups because they mean more $$$ in my pocket

Well I don't work that many games, 25-35 a year, but I buy one new pair of socks a year and pass the varsity pair from the previous season down to my subvarsity games. So I buy one pair of $7, current price on Honig's, socks a year while you buy 5 pair of 99 cent socks a year. So between all of that and the exchange rate you are at most $3 ahead of me. I'm all for saving money but I just don't like the look of stirrups that much. I have worked with a guy around here that does have an old pair and he uses the same arguement that you used and that is fine but I don't want to wear them.
