How many of you coordinators out there wear a different color shirt or jacket on the sideline so that your players can see you?

We all wear the opposite color of the players (white at home, dark away).
I call signals and used to wear a blaze orange ball cap to make myself more visible.
A team in our conference has their signal caller wear a red and white striped shirt (ala Where's Waldo?) to make himself more visible.

I'm a 350 lb ex-O Lineman with a pumpkin sized bald head so I pretty much stand out like a sore a$$. If my QB can't find me we need to find a new QB who isn't blind.

I do NOT wear a different shirt, but I wear a different cap. All of our coaches wear a school issued football lid. Mine is a version of their hats, but with one simple distinction. It is white.
I haven't asked the players if it helps....I just know. I am the DC and the LBs look for me. I know they are looking for the white hat.

Our staff also wears the opposite color of the team.

You guys will like this. We ordered black coaching shirts so that our players could see us on the sidelines better. The shirts had out logo embroidered on the chest. A couple people in town blew up saying that black wasn't our school colors. Were going to bring it to the school board. We pleased the principal, because she brought it to our attention and has gone to bat for us, so we changed the shirts to our colors. Of course a few people thought it was just a waste of time and money to get new shirts and make an issue of it.
One individual didn't like us wearing khaki pants either. He wanted us to wear pants that were out school colors. Are you kidding me?
I don't see the basketball coaches wearing one shred of our school colors in anything they wear on the sideline.

I have more of a problem finding them than they have a problem finding me for some reason. I do wear a white hat but only because it is my lucky charm

We all wear team gear but we don't worry about wearing the same stuff. I'm the DC and I always wear a dark top because it makes it easy for the signal-callers to see out numbers/wristbands signals.

Our Offensive and Defensive coaches wear different colors - it helps that our school colors are blue, green & silver, so we have three options, plus black.

How many of you coordinators out there wear a different color shirt or jacket on the sideline so that your players can see you? i wear a 5xlt or 6xlt so i generally don't get the latest fashions when on the sidelines i tell the two signallers what to signal in anyhow they didn't wear anything different we just wore the opposite color of the team that night as a whole staff |

the "different shirt/hat" for the signaler is a little overrated, to be honest.

the "different shirt/hat" for the signaler is a little overrated, to be honest. no kidding we went all signals no wristbands this year and had fewer busts with that than with wristbands and this was with much much less disciplined kids signaling all of it in is the way to go by far will never go back to wristbands or just sending a kid into a huddle i can vary the tempo from breakneck speed to kill the clock speed just by when i send in the play from the sideline now it aint hard and different shirts/gloves/hats etc were not needed our main signaller this year was about 4'11" and did a great job with it the kids didn't have any problem finding him he did have to learn where to stand for the whole offense to see him but that didn't take long for him or our kids to figure out |

as coaches we wear opposite of theteam for shirts, but as the OC i just walk out onto the field so the QB can see me and get the play.
