When did the color of football penalty flags change from red to yellow?
When I played football in high school in the sixties, the penalty flags were red. Does anyone know in what year the change from red to yellow occurred?
6 AnswersFootball (American)1 decade agoWhat is the purpose of that black leather strap football referees wear around their fingers and wrist?
The strap in question does not seem to be attached to anything. At first I thought that it was the strap for their whistles, but they wear the whistle around their necks. The strap seems to serve no function but I see it every time I watch a football game. It seems to loop around one finger and then disappears up their sleeves. I'm perplexed. Any ideas?
