Finger Whistles or not?

Using a lanyard whistle while officiating just works for me. I have never liked the look of officials that use finger whistles. I think it looks silly. To each his own I guess.

Use the same.

I also don't like how it looks. Plus, you always see guys that will give the "half-signals" where one hand is blowing the whistle and the other hand is giving the call (like for touchdown, one hand is up in the air and the other hand is in your mouth, then joins the other hand in the air). Just looks bad IMHO.
