4. Referee Costumes

Referee outfits are pretty straight forward if you’re a guy, but for girls, just a few accessories can make a bland referee outfit pretty darn cool! Add ribbons in your hair for extra flare, and incorporate knee high socks for a perfectly put together look.

3. Sports Fan

Show support for your favorite team this Halloween while being the life of the party as well. Sports fan costumes are great because they can be put together rather quickly and inexpensively while still maintaining the look of a well thought out costume. Also, many sports stores now sell t-shirt style jerseys as promotional items which work beautifully for this type of costume.

1. Blind Umpire

This is my favorite costume idea for this Halloween. if you’ve been to a ball game, I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “What? Are you blind, Ump?!” Amuse your buddies by dressing as a blind umpire, and show them that even a blind ump doesn’t miss all the plays. Just add some dark sun glasses and a walking stick to a normal umpire outfit, and party on!
