Referee Pants

[Barney Fife]

You can purchase black pants for football officials from Gerry Davis Sports (Appleton, Wisconsin). Although they do not have the information up on their web site yet (they are a brand new product) they will soon. They have belt loops for a standard football officials belt, white stripe that runs the length of the pants, they come in even waist sizes 30 to 50, they have an expansion waistband – located on both sides of the pants - which allows the official to adjust the waist according to the amount of layers of clothing they are wearing, two front pockets, two back pockets; one with a buttoned flap and an additional, smaller front pocket designed for placement of your penalty flag. Their web site is www.gerrydavis.com; their phone number is 800.916.9088. If you send them an e-mail they can send you pictures of the pants so you can see what they look like before you order them.

Hope this helps!

I agree with Jim D

From 4 years ago, I wonder how many officials still think these are clown pants?

[HLin NC]

I admit, I was wrong.

I could still live without the white stripe. My plan was a tapered pant, much like the modern baseball pant, instead of the dress slack style.

4 years later, I see knickers as clown pants.

As in, "Why are those clowns still wearing knickers?"

[JRutledge]

I agree Rich.

Until the white stripe came in, I thought the plain black pants made guys look like they were doing flag football or a coach coming on the field to do a JH game. With the stripe, now they look like a real uniform.

I like the white stripe. I just wish it would stay white.

Are any other states, beside NC, going to the shorts with the white stripe?

Huh? Keep that down in your flatlander country. No mention of it here.
