Last rites for knickers?

[Texas Aggie]

Texas has all but eliminated them -- they're optional by state rule, but all chapters I've heard about are going 100% black pants. Its interesting that just 2 years ago, black pants were the heavy version and only worn with long sleeves. Now, they're standard wear.

Anyone still wearing knickers this year?

Optional in Indiana this year as well. Doubt we'll see many knickers.

I didn't wear them *last* year. I threw them all out. I've read that the NFL will be eliminating them this year (if the officials ever come back).

I have not worn them in a season in a half. Optional in our state but almost no one wears them other than lower level officials.

Peace

All but a few hold out crews (want to take a stab at the over/under for average age?) have gone to black pants. Next year knickers won't even be an option in Texas and I welcome that day.

It is a bit amazing how quickly the tide turned but I think once they started being worn, a lot more eyes opened up as to how much better they are.

[HLin NC]

Two years ago NC wore black pants starting in October. Last season we eliminated knickers in our association. I'm not sure if all 9 groups have totally eliminated them yet.

I think someone told me that PA still uses them.

I've got around 8 pair I need to eBay I guess.
