My match on Sunday, I was in the normal black kit. Home team wore dark navy blue tops. Away team in gold tops. Both teams in black shorts and socks. Half time comes and a few of away team players ask me to put on a bid as because of the low sun, they couldnt tell difference between me and the opposition. I was too happy about the idea but understanding. No team had bibs anyway so that wasnt happening. Away manager then approaches asking me to wear their spare goalkeepers shirt. I told him no. Not even considering that as acceptable. He tried the 'last weeks red did and thought it was a good idea'. Game carried on. Not many complaints after.
Not much I could do about a kit clash. I didnt see any clash in tops although all having black shorts and socks doesnt help, with no alternatives available at that level.
Would anyone of chose to wear the goal keepers top? Was I too harsh? I dont think so but opinions welcome.
Alternatively, would you of wore a neutral bib if available?
I do not have a different coloured ref top as we arent allowed them in our county.
