I recall people saying the same thing the first time the NFL guys showed up in black pants.

Me too!

1" stripes outdated, imho.

Either 2" stripes should be the standard, with the alternating width stripes preferred.

South Carolina is going to these next year.

I don't have a problem with them either. I could go for the AL or SC shirt. Either would look better with the black pants.

Leave the 1" stripes for basketball. Of course, here in NC, we no longer wear those either.

I always liked the black pants. Never cared for the white knickers. I just think there is to much black on the shirt.

$50 for a shirt is insane. Esp for football. Competition will bring that price down.

I'm glad someone took the lead in some variation of the 2" stripped shirt. I also like the "built in" logos, if they must be worn.

Alabama is going to something very similar for next year, too. The Super 6 was a test run for the new shirts, and word is that those shirts or something very similar will be used for both football and basketball starting next year.

Alabama approved are available at PO for $43. Not sure I dig that look or not.

Reviving an old thread to a degree but WIAA (Wisconsin) approved the wide stripes this year.


"Below are the football mechanic changes including the new shirt in football which we will allow provided all on the crew are wearing:


1. The Five-Game Officials kickoff coverage positions have a major shift and additional responsibilities to cover new rules.

2. The signal for Targeting will be the current signal 24.

3. Announcing the number of the offending player is now allowed (not required) when the referee is using a microphone.

4. By state association adoption, game officials may wear a black and white vertically striped, long or short sleeved knit shirt with a maximum of 2 1/4-inch stripes, with a black knit cuff and Byron collar."

Interested to see what Rich and a few of my fellow Wisco partners think of the move on the stripes. I know the KO mechanics going back to the way they were is a welcome relief...that was horrendous IMO.

I totally agree. I hated the knickers and was glad to have just about anything to replace them. And most of all I hated what you had to do with the darn socks.

Peace

I just bought a new pair, rather then trying to darn them.
