WTF chose the new Refs uniform for the NPC?

The referees are in silver stubbies, a white shirt with red trim and red knee highs. The whole look is out of International Rescue.

The ref has no authority and looks like he missed the cue to come off after the pre-match entertainment.

It has to go.

Update: I think Lyndon Bray and co did not get the 'how to wear page'. Seems he was wearing the Touchies kit.

The Refs kit is Sunderland strip - actually looks authoritative. Still not sure about the metallic stubbies!
