Wisconsin currently does not allow it!
I was lobbying WIAA to allow "option" as long as crews were consistant. The state chose not to allow the option citing several reasons. (Most were weak, IMHO). Added expense, look too much like NBA, many officials prefer the traditional B&W look.....on and on.
I will tell you that my partner and I have worn the Gray Shirt for scrimmages (in season), and during summer AAU ball as well as high school all-star games during the off season.
Hopefully, Wisconsin will ok the change sooner than later! Many coaches and spectators have mentioned they like the look and ironically have stated that the officials are "less noticeable" and fosters a less confrontational persona. I would agree....we seem to be better received when in our "grays" vs. the B&Ws. Don't ask me why....test it for yourselves.....you decide.
