Initials on NFL officials hat.
 

While I watched a fair amount of NFL games this year I didn't notice until the playoffs started that all of the officials have the initials: SS on their hats. Did somebody pass away? I know that the MLB umpires had WB on their shirts for Wally Bell.

Stuart Scott, maybe?

Evidently it is to honor former NFL headlinesman Sid Semon who passed away this year.

Welpe:

Thanks for the information.
