Whether they are or not they look like them. They use the Reebok Play Dry material. I have some Reebok sweat pants that are made from the same stuff and as far as I can tell are similar to the NFL pants with the exception of the white stripe.

Maybe our definition of sweat pants are different.

I'm a bigger guy. I actually highly prefer the knickers over the play dry pant which a lot of guys wear for those rainy day junior high games and recommended so I got a pair. I prefer kickers, maybe I'm just weird.

You aren't weird. It's a personal preference thing. I'm also bigger and my legs are the size of an NFL running back. Even the relaxed fit knickers are tight on me and present few layering options. I love my "warm up" pants that I wear for the little guys. I wear thermals and some fleece under them and stay toasty.

I'm hoping that the NFL pants catch on for the amatuer officials.

To most of us over 50, sweat pants are made from cotton, similar to sweatshirts. They appear a little "fuzzy" and have elastic sewn inside the bottom of the leg so they "blouse" slightly at the ankle.

What the NFL officials are wearing more closely resembles what us old farts would calling running suit pants, joggin pants, warm-ups, etc. They are made from a synthetic material and definitely are not "fuzzy."

Thanks for clarifying for the youngster.
