This field umpire in the reserves game today. Have we got an umpire exchange program going or something, every other umpire was wearing white.

I could only assume that some umps in the amateurs wear similar and he got a late call up.
From memory I think the VFL umpires wear fluro green or something similar when I was at the VFL v SANFL game last year but you're right it does look similar (I think) to the WA Umps.

That's actually a Queensland umpire, as part of an exchange for one week with the QAFL.

When you have a question just wait for Spelly, He is the Ross Gibbs of SAFooty, is always back there and you can rely on him to "butter(s) up"....

The is an umpires board over here in Victoria (I think it is the Central Mallee League), that is being sponsored a company that makes spray on applications for fly strike in sheep (or something similar). The slogan on the back is, "XXXXX kills all white maggots".

Fair enough having an umpire exchange program or whatever, but surely they can all wear the same colour???

I remember a couple years back, the Eags were playing at Norwood wearing our gold jumper, and there was an Umpire in yellow or orange. Had to look twice.

But when he gave you that seventh free kick in a row all was back to normal.
