Officiating dress code in NH?

[ljudge]

Hey New England fellas. My nephew is the starting freshman QB at Bishop Gertin in Southern New Hampshire. He came down for the holiday to NJ to see me. He couldn't wait to show Uncle Joe his 1/2-hour video of his highlights. Unfortunately I couldn't be there working high school and NCAA in the NJ/PA area.

In EVERY game the officials were wearing white shorts with their Federation Socks pulled up to their knees.

The officials did a nice job at working the games, kept everything boxed in, covered the flags, etc. They looked good from that perspective. But the uniform choice???

With all due respect that looked goofy as all hell.

I worked a JV game years ago with a guy who dressed just like that with the added bonus that he was about 50 pounds overweight and wore a jock strap under his polyester shorts. The shorts were stretched to their limit and the jock strap shone through the shorts like it was a neon sign. The kids laughed and chuckled at him the entire game.

Normal sub-varsity uniform here is shorts with uniform socks until the weather causes a change. Which almost didn't happen this year. Varsity is always pants, no shorts.

We wear regular white crew socks with shorts, which can be worn for anything below JV games except youth football playoffs. I do not like shorts on football officials but I will wear what I am told to.

I don't mind shorts (pretty ubiquitous here), but I prefer the black ones to the white ones.

With all due respect, why would you wear your regular uniform socks up to your knees with shorts?

If you couldn't find your small white socks. That happened to me right after I moved. I had no choice. I looked goofy, but I learned.
