Longer Referee Shorts?

[refnrev]

You might want to try the old style coaches shorts that were popular in the 80's like the Bike brand coaches shorts. They're polyester, have 4 pockets, and nearly any sports equipment store can get them. The last time I priced them they were about 25 bucks. I use a longer short, but they are the looser more contemporary variety. They do have 2 pockets. I have to wear knee braces and the regular soccer shorts left about a 2" - 3" gap that looked totally stupid. Not 100% official, but 200% comfortable, especially over a pair of black compression shorts. They'd work very well for basketball and volleyball.
