NFL  > General NFL  > THE REFEREES' PANTS
June 25, 2011, 08:27 AM
a few years ago, the nfl referees changed their pants; well, some of them did.. formerly, they all wore white, "knicker"-style pants, with knee-length socks.. today, some wear leg-length dark slacks, with a white stripe on the side.. why? it seems to me the "knickers" are better at preventing refs from tripping on their pant cuffs and getting tangled with their shoes.. what's the difference? is the fashion determined by conference, geographic region, flip-of-a-coin, the weather?

I know subjects are hard to come by right now, but .................who cares about the ref's britches? They could all wear pink tu-tu's for all I care...........lol

Sorry Bull, they couldn't wear pink tu-tu's!! If they did Tom Brady would sue for copyright infringment and trying to steal his swagger!!

Tom should have been a ballet dancer.

Who cares what the refs wear or even if they fall down?

I agree. I'm surprised this many people really care.

WB, GnG! Congrats, as I didn't get a chance to say that before you left.

A newlywed couple moves into their new house. One day the husband comes home from work and his wife says, "Honey, you know, in the upstairs bathroom one of the pipes is leaking, could you fix it?" The husband says, "What do I look like, Mr. Plumber?"
A few days go by, and he comes home from work and his wife says, "Honey, the car won't start. I think it needs a new battery. Could you change it for me?" He says: "What do I look like, Mr. Goodwrench?"
Another few days go by, and it's raining pretty hard. The wife finds a leak in the roof. She says, "Honey, there's a leak on the roof! Can you please fix it?" He says, "What do I look like, Bob Vila?"

The next day the husband comes home, and the roof is fixed. So is the plumbing. So is the car. He asks his wife what happened. "Oh, I had a handyman come in and fix them," she says. "Great! How much is that going to cost me?" he snarls.
Wife says: "Nothing. He said he'd do it for free if I either baked him a cake or slept with him." "Uh, well, what kind of cake did you make?" asks the husband. "What do I look like," she says, "Betty Crocker?"
