The players in the Orange County All-Star Classic on Saturday night will look like NFL players … at least by their dress from the waist down.
The North and South all-stars in the 59th annual game at Orange Coast College will don the L.A. Chargers’ blue and white football pants.
The pants surfaced at the North practice Wednesday night at El Modena. The South players are expected to receive their white pants Thursday night at San Clemente.
Players won’t be able to keep the pants but for one game, they will dress like an NFL player.
“I wish I could keep them,” Cypress wide receiver Dominique Thompson said of the pants after the North’s practice. “We got fitted before practice. They fit good. .. That’s nice.”
The game, formerly played in the summer, is supported by Costa Mesa United and the L.A. Chargers, two newcomers who saved the game last year from being cancelled. The players are allowed to keep their game jerseys.
Players also visited earlier visited the Chargers’ headquarters in Costa Mesa.
The game Saturday kickoffs off at 7 p.m. Player introductions are set for 6:40 p.m. Presale tickets are $10 online.
Little roster movement
Mater Dei wide receiver CJ Parks of the North and Corona del Mar linebacker Jack Fairon of the South are the only players who were announced that are not expected to play.
