Black pants, a comparison

My crew bought the GD's. Haven't worn them yet.

I always wear UnderArmour ankle length tights no matter what the pants I have on over them. With the black pants (at least the ones I own) you can wear whatever under them you like. That is the beauty of those pants.

Peace

Yup. It's not like anyone will see what's under them.

I wear UA compressions....actually Heat Gear version shorts now, and then the UA Cold Gear full length base layer when it gets actually cold out.

We wore ours on Saturday in Milwaukee at Nicolet. A little warm, but were nice to have when the rain came down for a good half an hour. Awesome stuff, and much better looking IMO...oops. There's that opinion thing again.

Good for you. Far as I'm concerned, we've worn our knickers for the last time this season. It will either be short sleeves and shorts or long sleeves and pants the rest of the way. Only supposed to be in the mid-60s on Friday, so by the time kickoff rolls around, it will be perfect weather for the pants.

We're in Two Rivers this week.....just off the big pond. This will probably be our first go at it with the black pants. Looking around the field and even watching TV replays.....I think the pants are far and away a much better and more professional look.

For the record....opening kick-off temp was 53 degrees at the site. 25 to 35 MPH constant winds....3rd and 4th quarter there was lake-effect mist and drizzle. Water beaded on the outside of the pants...a beautiful thing.

Why both teams thought they could pass effectively is also beyond me.

Ashwaubenon on Friday....knickers are done for the year, I presume.

We're making the trek to Whitefish Bay HS (Dominican) on Friday. First time I've worked football in the Milwaukee area (I had a game moved and I was fortunate enough to get a replacement game pretty late in the assigning cycle). Being near the lake, I'm guessing it will be pretty cool. We didn't even take the knickers with us this weekend for our Friday and Saturday games. We won't take them this week, either.

It was about 57 at kickoff with a 25MPH wind Friday. The pants and long sleeves were absolutely perfect. I wasn't cool or warm and it's rare you get that perfect balance. We had a punt go for 3 yards out of bounds that night. Had I waited another second to chop it, it would've been 0 yards.
