The white stripe running down the side of NFL official's pants appears to be much wider than Fed regulated pants, or am I wrong?

No, you're not wrong. Always has been wider.


Anybody know whether they get rid of those stupid knickers with the black stripe down the leg?

Read from Mike Pereira that they've done away with the knickers period.

No knickers in the NFL or in NCAA football now.

I did see an official on Friday night with knickers in his bag. I could only shake my head -- why keep them around? I got rid of mine after the 2010 season.

Canada is still wearing them and I saw a HS crew on tv in Cali wearing them 2 or 3 weeks ago. Wonder if they would like a free care package?u

There is only 1 conference in Canadian college ball still wearing knickers. Most local areas have switched to black pants exclusively or are well into the transforming stage.

Next to go is the 1" stripe. I'd like to see the 1" stripe gone by 2016.
