TASO Patches Part Deux
« on: February 23, 2012, 10:43:26 AM »
So evidently Coby's comment about my supposed UIL tattoo crashed the server yesterday...

At any rate, looks like we have patches on our right sleeve now.  Not that I really care but what's the justification?

Rick, my chapter's president sent an email out yesterday saying that the TASO board has added a requirement to wear a TASO patch on our right sleeve.

Only if I can put my old SFOA patch. >:D

When are they going to send out this missive? Was this something discussed at the Presidents/Secretaries meeting?

I'm about as pro-TASO as you can find, but I personally can't see the need for any kind of patch other than maybe the State of Texas Flag. But if it's being done to shove it in  :bOW  tiphat: Manor Road's cRaZy aural cavity, then let the sticking begin!   z^

Now a state of Texas flag I could get on board with.

Can we use the Battle of Gonzales flag?  ;D

The patches on the arm is correct.  It was passed at the TASO Football board meeting.  TASO will provide 2 free patches to each official.

Starting in year 2013 knickers will no longer be used.  Only the black pants with white stripe.  Also in 2013 the summer uniform for subvarsity games (for those chapters that use the summer uniform) will have a white stripe on each leg of the black shorts.

Black or white bean bags only.  Crew must match.

Position placards may be used regardless if the game is televised or not.  The whole crew must have them.

A mechanic change starting this year will require the covering officials to give the "dead ball" signal.  This is to prepare us for the 40 second play clock.  We were told that UIL wanted to use it last year but it didn't go through.  There is a chance we may use it for 2012, but 99.9% sure we will be using it for 2013.

Wow! Thanks for the scoop, Jason.  Is there a vendor currently selling the black shorts with white stripes? I don't think I've seen those yet.

Out of curiosity, what is the justification for the patches?

The official death of the knickers in Texas is now in view. I'll hold on to mine as a keepsake and can tell the whippersnappers about when I used to wear those.

So black bean bags and placards are good for 2012?

The stripes on shorts thing is to keep guys from wearing non-football officiating shorts. I don't like the look, but if it means we're wearing shorts in 120 degree (on turf) subvarsity games the first week or two of the season, I will gladly get a pair or two and join the white stripe on black shorts fan club. Honestly this is neither here nor there and actually has a useful purpose.

The patch on the other hand -- well, let's just say I'm considering not wearing that.

Jason, what is the rationale of waiting a year before 86ing the knickers? I would have understood doing that last year, but we don't want new guys buying them for a one and done deal. We've already got new guys from last year with a pair or two they won't wear anymore.

I like the new dead ball mechanic. Wings have been all but doing it for a long time to signal the down. Hopefully, they will codify the "downfield arm, downfield foot" mechanic.

Which will be right after the NCAA quits messing with the blocking below the waist rule.

You can store them next to the shirt with the big V on it, and the red and white flag with a fishing weight in the corner! :bOW

33 years of white kinickers: Yes, I'll miss them! And we'll sport the black pants for all of our games, no doubt! But since this is the final approved year for them, if my crew is fortunate enough to get the nod for JerryWorld in Week 16 this December, I'll see to it that we'll don those white pants one last time!   z^

I have already "chunked" mine. 27 years of wearing them but no sentimental value. I got rid of them as quickly as I did the stirrup socks.

Just yesterday my wife was looking for more closet space.  She eyed my stack of knickers and socks.
She got her additional space!!  :laugh:
