Finding Referee Jerseys

If you have decided to be a referee on the side and earn some cash it is time to find a good place to buy referee jerseys.  They do not have to be the fanciest jersey in the world but they should be of good material that keeps you cool as you run up and down the court.

Most refs run more than some players since they never get to sub out of the game and take a rest. Many of the NBA or College Basketball refs are in great shape because of all the running they do on the court.

Referee jerseys can be found a any team uniform shop or even online. You should also check your local school as they might have a few laying around in the gym. Some are better than others so be sure yours fits good and you can run comfortably in it or it will be a long night.

Some people get lucky and find a bargain at the local thrift shops were they get their jerseys really cheap. Most referees are not that picky and do not mind wearing used clothing, and I agree with them, since it is not about the uniform.

If you still have not found a referee jersey then you may have to pay full price and order from the stores where the kids get all their team uniforms. It will be more expensive, but you should get a top quality uniform that will fit right. Make sure you get a money back guarantee to be safe though, as things sometimes go wrong.

Reffing can be a fun time and a great workout. Running up and down the basketball court does wonders for the body and allows you to watch a great sport all at the same time . Good luck.

Derrick Rose | Chicago Bulls Star

Derrick Rose came to Chicago to turn around a team that has not been very successful since Jordan and company left in the late 90′s.  They had some up and down years that never really amounted to much more than some short playoff appearances.  Derrick Rose came from a great Memphis Tigers team that went to the Final Four during his only year in college. Many thought he would be  sudden star in the NBA.

They were right and soon after the draft people were lining up in Chicago to get a Derrick Rose jersey. People had hope that was not seen since Jordan left over a decade ago. Once him and Pippen and Rodman hung up their jerseys it was soon to be over for the success of the Bulls.

The 90′s were good to them though as they won 6 NBA rings and dominated the league. Many think they would have won 8 if Jordan did not retire after their 3rd championship. With him out of there the Houston Rockets won back to back titles before Mike would return and lead the Bulls to another 3 peat.  During this time the Bulls jersey was one of the hottest items selling around the NBA.  Bulls jerseys from that era can still be found and if you can find an autographed one then it could be worth some big bucks.

Derrick Rose has the size and ability to score with ease. He is quick off the dribble yet very strong so he can work down low against some of the bigger players. His long range shooting has improved and he should be able to last a long time in the NBA. I would not be surprised if he makes it to the Hall of Fame some day. With fellow teammates Ben Gordon and Hinrich, they should be able to make a playoff run this year.

The Rose jersey should be a popular one come playoff time, as he will be the reason the Bulls are back on top. Without him performing at a top level, they will not be able to go very far.

Celtics Rajon Rondo

While he was at Kentucky, I said I would never own a Rajon Rondo jersey.  I did not care if it was free, I would never wear a Rondo jersey.  I just did not like the guy.  I thought he was goofy and not really that good as a Kentucky Wildcat, but I must say he has improved a bunch since those days.  I still am not a huge fan, but he has lead the Boston Celtics the past few years and they might be able to get another NBA Finals ring soon if they continue to play well.

Since the rest of the squad is getting older, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, they need to win in a hurry in order to create another Celtics dynasty team. It is far from the days of Bill Russell or Larry Bird, but they still are very good and have a few more years left in them.

Rondo should be around for a while though, so it will be interesting to see if he leaves Boston after the big 3 decide to retire or leave town for a bigger payday.

So I ended up getting a cheap Rondo green jersey the other day just for my collection. I was not happy about it but hey whatever I got to do.  I will never wear it though, I do not care what the occasion is. I would much rather get some Garnett jerseys and wear them instead.

I would rank Rondo up there with Steve Nash and Chris Paul as the three best point guards in the league this year. It will be interesting to see if Rajon develops into a better scorer like Nash and Paul have.

After the start of the 2010 season I would say Rajon is the best point guard in the league. He has set records for the most assists to start the season and continues to lead the Celtics to victories.
