Uniform in SNF

[grantsrc]

It goes back to the beer ads from a few years back I believe.

And honestly, is it really a big deal what uniform they wear? If they want to wear sleeves and pants, is it a big deal? Love them or hate them, I imagine that many of us wouldn't want to get the opportunity to wear them, period.

Or we would want to get that opportunity.

As a fan, I just think they're fugly and unnecessary. We have a timeless look (I'm not advocating going back to bow ties and those old-school hats, mind you) and they jacked with it for specious (to me) reasons.

As an official, sure, we'll wear whateverthehell you want. Especially if it's in the NFL.

I can't be the only person who loved those commercials. Given, I wasn't an official at the time, but I still look them up online occasionally for the laugh.

The beer commercials were great. The NFL obviously is all about money and being copied.

Our state has allowed the black pants for Fed ball. I think they look like we're doing flag football. They look cheap and unprofessional but most of the guys are jumping on the bandwagon. It's a crew decision. I was doing a JV game today and the guys had them on when I got there. It was 55 degrees and sunny. They changed back to the professional look when they realized I didn't have a pair.

I think the rush to look different in FB uniforms is silly. As mentioned above, there is a traditional look and I think it commands respect. As for warmth, I have never failed to stay warm with UA cold gear and long johns. I've worked in 9 degrees and windy. The only thing I haven't been able to do is keep my fingers warm enough to write on my card.

I think money being made by uniform companies has a lot to do with what's going on now.
