Thankfully, the official refs are back on the field. In order to ready for game time this Sunday, the official NFL referees headed to Texas over the weekend to sign that paperwork and pick up their fresh new kits from Nike.

Texas' Honig's Whistle Shop maybe a barely noticeable storefront in the tiny town of College Station, but the treasures inside are worth a look. The store has been responsible for shipping the official NFL Referee uniforms for years, but the ref's late start has the shipment on a later delivery to Dallas-Fort Worth. The gear was ready to go onto the refs for field preparatory fitting and finishing before Sunday's big game.

Crank up the video above to get a closer look at the ref's fresh kit and the journey it takes from manufacture to field.
