Black pants question for umpires

[FTVMartin]

Just got my black pants and was thinking they would look good with a black towel instead of a white one. Any thoughts?

Also, I see that Honigs is now selling black ball flags. I wonder if black beanbags will be next.

yeah, i would say a black towel would be better than looking like a skunk...our state won't let us wear them yet though.

So football officials have now gone from being fashion police to being fashion conscious.

No, it they were fashion conscious they would not wear shorts, black pants or adjustable caps.

Or knickers. Knickers, in general, are ghastly. Just cause we've worn them for years doesn't change that.

I heard a white hat a few weeks ago pining for stirrups in lieu of the one-piece socks.

Hold on here. On one post, you describe knickers as "ghastly." On another, you say you "...like working with very white knickers..." I'm a little confused.

The black (and white) balled flags are so you don't have to tape them anymore.

But yeah, go for a black towel. Might look good!

We already use black bean bags.

Why?

Are they easier to see on the fields on which you officiate?

The bean bags would not serve the same purpose as the flags with the black covering on the tip.

Sure they would. Both would match the color of the pants thus blending in instead of standing out.

Bean bags are not used for penalties. No one cares if you reach for a bean bag.

At least Jeff and I can agree on one thing.

Oh, now you've done it. Look for a post that says "I never said I agreed with you..."
