Well...after doing a lot of thinking and soul searching lately, I have made the decision to come back to officiating yEs:
I have more time to dedicate now that I have left the fire department, where I was a volunteer firefighter for 19 years (As of October this year). The main reason I left the FD was because it is just me and my mom now, so I decided to quit and help around the house, which in turn led me back to officiating since I get extremely bored staying at home :)
The only downside is, I may have to defer (See the football terminology I used here ;D) until 2017, as I have a summer vacation planned in Wales (If you do not know where that is, PLEASE ask ;D) to celebrate my *COUGHCOUGH ;D* Birthday with my Grandparents (I am Welsh/Asian and American (Naturalized)).
Now onto my uniform question:
I see that TASO has come up with a new football official shirt. I have looked on Honig's and I cannot find them yet. Have they been released yet or will it be released in time for next season?
Also, does anyone have any idea how these shirt will fit (IE True to size, big, small), so I can purchase the correct size when the time comes.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can answer the above tiphat:

Don't throw your old shirts away if you've still got them; we'll be right in the middle of our main season, and there's football for you in Wales and just over the border.
-
Will do, I will gladly donate them once I get things settled :)
Just so you know, I have two short sleeved shirts and a long sleeved shirt.
Also, I may have two pairs of pants to give away, one regular pair and one rain pair :)
I will send a reminder when the time gets close.

You're leaving your mom at the FD all by herself?
Forget Honigs. Get the Smitty shirts from either Officials Gear Outlet or Official Sports.net. They fit like the old Smitty shirts -- pretty much straight down the middle, true to size.
The shirt was optional this year even though I only saw it used on TV highlights about 3 times. Next year it will be mandatory.

LOL Not quite. I left to be with my mom.

Thanks for the info, I will keep this in mind when I am ready to order my shirts tiphat:
