shorts or knickers

[Jim D]

We can't wear shorts for varsity game (thank goodness) and I don't own a pair of shorts so it's always knickers for me.

Knickers - always. Shorts - never. I don't allow my crew to wear shorts even for scrimmages. We are professionals, dress like it. As to lower level games, what makes those any less important to the participants and fans? If you dress less than professional for those games, you will be seen as less than professional. If you wanna wear shorts, go work in the yard.

Please note the actual question that was asked. I was curious about the way the coaches in your areas reacted or commented to shorts instead of knickers.

Here in Baton Rouge, we wear black shorts for all freshman and JV games, the only time we wear knickers is for fri night games. Coaches out here dont really care all they care about is winning.

I have never heard a coach comment either way regarding uniforms. If he has a particular beef with an official and that official looked like a slob, he might add that to his list of complaints. I have, however, heard comments about officials that have a little extra poundage and/or are out of shape.

During a game?

In Arizona, we wear black shorts with white crew length socks for all games other than Varsity. I have never heard a comment from a coach about it.
