Help! I need a black and white striped referee shirt...

[JBizzleBeard]

Hey good folk of NSC!

I've landed my first wrestling referee gig (I know, I know) and I'm in desperate need of a black and white striped ref shirt. Does anyone know where I might be able to get one in the Brighton and Hove area?

Thanks y'all!

Ps I need it for tomorrow!

 

[TomandJerry]

Sports Direct?

 

[Albion_Dave]

Foot Locker?

 

[JBizzleBeard]

No luck on either of those but thanks anyway!

Costume shop?

 

[JBizzleBeard]

I've tried 4 costume shops and one had just sold one! Aaaaaarrrrrgggggghhhh.
Thanks again!

Where are you reffing ?

 

[JBizzleBeard]

I'm refereeing for IPW in Snodland, Kent.

How do you even get into being a wrestling referee?

(Asking for a friend)

 

[JBizzleBeard]

There are a fair few British independent wrestling companies that hold various training from wrestling, being a wrestling manager, referee etc. I started out just over a year ago by supporting my daughter who wanted to give it a go. I had a fair few wrestling training sessions but realised my old ass body just can't take it. That's when I decided to give refereeing a go!

Any good?

 

[JBizzleBeard]

Perfect! When can I pick it up from you?

Buy our new away kit and bleach the red stripes ?

If you know anyone who plays roller derby, their refs all wear tops like that but (a) will probably be reffing over the weekend in them anyway, and (b) all have their names on the back.

Otherwise, only other non-online suggestions would be (a) buy a Newcastle United shirt from Sports Direct, (b) mug a Foot Locker employee and steal theirs, or (c) white shirt plus black fabric paint and make your own.

 

[JBizzleBeard]

I love suggestion B! Hahaha

 

[spongy]

Can't you just buy a Newcastle shirt instead?

 

[JBizzleBeard]

Thanks for all your suggestions guys. Looks like I will be going down the white shirt and bow tie route! I will pick myself up a black n white shirt hopefully in time for my next show!

Thanks once again!

White shirt bit of spray paint, sorted

I don't think it would make the greatest impression what with this being my first booking! Haha
