Minor Uniform Changes for 2012

2012 OFFICIATING UNIFORM
The basic uniform for 2012 remains unchanged from 2011. However, the following items are important for a consistent appearance among conferences and at all levels of officiating:
 DP PATCH The “DP” patch to honor Dave Parry will not be worn in 2012. This was intended as a one-year addition to the uniform.

 CAPS Black caps must have the traditional narrow white piping. There should be no other white on the cap, except the manufacturer’s logo is allowed.
White caps must be solid white with no black on the cap, except the manufacturer’s logo is allowed.

 BEAN BAG Bean bags must be solid black.

 PRE-GAME JACKETS If pre-game jackets are worn on the field they must be solid black.

Must not have liked the thick hat piping in the Big 12.

I guess they want the bean bags to blend in with the black pants.

Umpire towels also need to be black to go with the pants.
