The WTF Award No 2 Goes To.....

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

That looks like a WAFL umpiring uniform.....

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"....

VFL umps -- orange and blue.

Flourescent maggots!

Might I add that the orange looks carp.

Might I add that the orange looks carp.

But white looks good hey spelly??

[Spiritof64]

Flourescent maggots!

I've heard they make great Carp bait.

[am Bays]

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".

[RoosterMarty]

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.

[JK]

lol ... Poor bastard, hope he put in a decent performance as it's not like you would stand out or anything!

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