New Nike kit 2022

Hopefully not. I’m the same and have the last run of kits. Potentially getting umbro next. I don’t like the look of the new Nike kit.
Most pictures and people that I have come across have Nike which I why I ask. Also Nike is extortionately priced and is sold out on many websites
I don’t believe so. I do think the Nike one looks better though.
I do like the Nike one. I only bought the Umbro initially when I got back into refereeing, because it is a 1/3 of the price.. I am happy to buy the Nike one but don’t see the need to at the moment.. unless someone tells me otherwise.
Certainly isn't a requirement, but if you are working in a team of 3 it can look a bit odd if one official has a totally different kit on. But equally the kit isn't provided free like it is in some countries, so no one can really expect officials to look identical.
I think there will be a year or two before the ‘old’ kit is phased out. I’ve spoken to a few who don’t like the new one.
Will be longer than that. I know one supply league official who still wears the Umbro kit with white collar from the early 2010s.
Wow. Fair play for keeping it in condition for that long. I do remember that though. I did like the Umbro kits, always looked smart.

I found the new Referee II S Jersey on Direct Soccer, which I managed to order!
Hope this sends someone in the right direction.
Low supply. Not sure on ref numbers but 5 years ago it was 28000. 100 kits for 28000 refs... I know not everyone wants one but just shows the lack of stock around.
The Umbro Wembley kit was 07-09 if I remember correctly, making it all the more impressive/skinflintish!

Lol. I still have mine too, also the Umbro Diamond kit which I trot out in from time to time.
I've seen referees and assistants (normally guys in their 60s+) last season still trotting out in the old RA kits complete with white-topped socks ...
Surely they are grey topped socks by now ... ?Lol. I still have mine too, also the Umbro Diamond kit which I trot out in from time to time.

My only short sleeve shirt has done/will do 18 matches in 44 days. When I bought my kit 5 years ago I rarely used my only short sleeve but now I'm a southern softy and it's rather warm down here I need it every game atm. There's not many washes left in it.
I think I have worn a baselayer about 6 times in 5 years down here and that was rain protection rather than cold. Otherwise it short sleeve all the way.
These days you won't be criticised for wearing a black long sleeve base layer under your short sleeved shirt. That's a money saving exercise as you only need a short sleeved shirt.

I remember being assessed (not observed) as an assistant and my youngest son on the other line was pulled up for his grey topped socks. I told the observer that unless he was going to buy him new ones he’d better let it go because I wasn’t buying any more! To be fair, he was (and still is) a decent assessor and my lad was a decent liner.Surely they are grey topped socks by now ... ?
