I think officiating will go towards the black pants. The black pants provide better layering options for all officials. For officials with large legs the black pants are far more comfortable and provide more options on cold days.

I talked to quite a few officials at my state meeting and most of them are starting to see the benefits of the black pant. In fact, most guys who do little league and high school (which is most of us) are going with shorts and black pants exclusively this season for the youth games.
