Question Number: 15846Law 6 - Assistant Referee 6/21/2007RE: Under 7 donna worswick of preston, england asks...why are linesman's flags different in football games i.e one is checked and another is just 2 different colours? Answer provided by Referee Chuck Fleischer Flags are manufactured by different companies and as a consequence reflect ideas of the stylist who designed them.
In rare occasions referees will make their own, I have some outlandish day-glow Pink/Purple flags that I take immense glee in handing to a most manly assistant. The looks I get are worth the time invested. Of course some don't see the humour in all of that, I do and that's all that counts.
Regards,
