Who gets to decide if the weather is inclement? The crew chief? Well, then, it could rain every Friday night. Pants it is.

What does the rest of your crew think?

Entire crew is in agreement.

That's fine -- there's no accounting for tastes. My goal in this topic was to eliminate any myths about the pants by getting actual experiences. There's nothing wrong with favoring the knickers but I think too many thought they would be hot or not look good. I think they look terrific, especially with the wider stripes and, dare I say it, shoes with white on them.

Well maybe you can take up the rest of the inventory of the vendors. They really need help getting rid of those pants. :D

Peace

They will be free in a few months.

They told me they cannot give those things away and this was early August when I had that conversation. That is over a 50% mark down if I remember.

I have some Northwestern stripe socks I'll never wear again. Maybe I should try to sell them.

The knickers have already been tossed in a pile to be discarded after the season. Tomorrow will be a wonderful night for the lightweight pants. High of 72, which means it will be in the mid 60s by kickoff and probably in the low 60s/upper 50s by the end of the game.

I have eight pair of northwestern stripes that still have the tags on them. :(

We're still stuck - at least this year - with knickers being the "default." My crew wears black pants and we'll probably wear them all year for varsity, but subvarsity we work with a bunch of guys and coordinating a uniform is all but out of the question.

So next question: what states/orgs have gone black pants always or as the default?

Like I said this is a crew decision. There is no default for us. We can only wear black pants or knickers for varsity "night" games.

Peace
