Don't get me wrong, I wear non-western cut and pleated pants, work in the Gerry Davis, etc. when working youth and men's ball, but I do not in college. Why? Because the people who set the standards say not to. It is that simple to me.
Take that a step further. We all buy new uniform items regularly. I will only buy that which is universally accepted. Yes, I have non-western pants; but I will not buy any more. And, they are the mudders; or worn when I work rec ball. They are the backups. I don't want to be seen by those I work with being anything but the example of what is correct.
