Do you have a preference to the colour you wear, if you can't wear black?
I wear black as much as possible; I'm quite a traditionalist and like to see referees in black. If I have to change then yellow would be the preferred colour as most assistants agree it’s a colour easily picked up by them for the referee’s position. Obviously the goalkeepers colour plays a part in deciding what colour the match officials wear.
