REPLY: I also spoke to an NFL official friend at our banquet this past Tuesday. He said that wearing the black pants is a crew decision at game time, but but only if the temperature is below 38F. Last evening in Denver, the temperature was 14F !!! He also said that the big decision makers in going to these new uniforms were the Bud Lite (??) commercials and another set of advertisements for a casino that depicted guys in the old NFL officials uniforms. Since these new ones are trademarked by Reebok and sanctioned for exclusive use by the NFL, they can't use them on such advertising. Also, Ed did say that these new shirts and pants do allow them more room for 'layering' in the really cold weather.
