The NFHS Manual (Page 10) states that: "Standard black/white vertically striped" shirts are the approved uniform, and our state has chosen to follow that interpretation to the letter, not allowing anyone to wear the gray shirt. We actually had officials fined last year for wearing the gray shirts for high school contests.

Many of our officials feel that the gray shirts are very comfortable and look much better than the standard black and white. Just curious the see if anyone out there is wearing the new gray shirt.
No, not in high school games. Like you said, NFHS defines pretty clearly what the uniform is. Smoref happens to think that his pink thong looks better on the outside of his ref pants, but we don't let him wear that around here either. He tried once and we fined him too.
