Where's my green piping?
Just seen a post on the junior league site I referee in and Sheffield & Hallamshire are sticking with all black kits for Step 7 and below.
exactly if you dont want to spend your match fees on looking smart, still dont get that, then ask people to buy them from santaSo in the Yorkshire Pool matches (with Assistants), we have BLACK for all three leagues but options of YELLOW for West Yorkshire matches and GREEN for York League matches. ERCFA have said BLACK is the only eligible top for their matches.
There you go @es1 @Darius - you know what your next birthday / Christmas presents are
plus the coloured undershirts which i should buy so the players can't complain.
Any player complaining is pretty thick.
Black undershirt is fine with any colour ref's shirt
It doesn't cause an issue for us on the EFL @lincs22 - sometimes I do think we try to find issues where one doesn't exist.
Come down to the grassroots and do a game in your coloured top and black undershirt. Then tell Fred he cannot wear his black undershirt with a red shirt, as they don't make his size in a red undershirt. I can see you getting dissent before the game even starts. I am not looking for problems, they already exist and solutions are needed to be explained - like why don't EFL and EPL send players off for OFFINABUS language when it is clear shown on TV, or mass YC for crowding officials. Their inactions causes problems at the bottom of the game.It doesn't cause an issue for us on the EFL @lincs22 - sometimes I do think we try to find issues where one doesn't exist.
I'm presuming the focus here is on the sleeve colours, which is why you don't see the officials at the top wearing short sleeve tops with long sleeve undergarments - we were stopped from doing so years back.
A black shirt sleeve undergarment under a short sleeve refereeing top of any colour will not cause you any issues in match control!
I want to be there when you explain to the players that you can wear undershirts that are a different colour to the shirt, but they can't. Match Control anybody?
"pot calling the kettle black" is a good thought

Big difference is, referees cannot commit a handling offence.
This is ignoring the simple fact referees are NOT playerd and are not bound by Law 4 PLAYERS' equipment. Which is why we can wear watches, glasses, and don't need shinpads
I'd expect a ref of your experience to be able to handle a smart arse player that tried to challenge you on this
Or, don't wear an undershirt at all.
i dont want to even consider the pain in my nips of not wearing an undershirt!
Coloured Shirts 2017/18
The Sheffield and Hallamshire CFA have decided that match officials should NOT be allowed to wear
coloured shirts during season 2017/18. The reason for this was that the board’s concern about the
possible increased costs to grassroots referees who may have to purchase at least 3 various coloured
shirts at their own cost.
I can handle any smart arse, but an 18 year old doing his third line on a supply league doing the kit checks - can they? Especially with some g1t who had paid Contrib and now is not good enough but still has the mouth attitude.I'd expect a ref of your experience to be able to handle a smart arse player that tried to challenge you on this
