bob jenkins SCalScoreKeeper wroteTonight was the first night of a girls summer league in our area. The officials were wearing gray shirts with the little stripes on them. Can anybody tell me what this means? I think they were wearing black shirts with really wide gray stripes.
[deleted] Officials working JUCO games in Iowa have been wearing those for a couple years now, at least. I think there was some talk about letting state associations allowing HS officials to wear them under state options...did that ever fly?

CaRef5 in the bay area ive only seen them for "summer ball" games... or that is the only time i wear mine lol
zebraman They are approved for HS games in Washington State. We have our choice of wearing the gray or stripes - the only requirement is that the entire crew has the same shirt type.

To have the option, that's a good deal there! I prefer the greys over stripes any day. They're just so loud... Although we wear them for Pro-AM, at the HS level we can only wear them for summer & rec ball 🙁

amusedofficial New Hampshire appears to wear the Mendy Rudolph Memorial grey with thin stripes. I prefer zebra; its a lot easier to peripherally catch where your partners are. Besides, the vertical stripes make this aging body look a little less plump.

That's why I wear my striped shirt all the time, even when I'm not doing games. It caused a problem once when I went to the zoo and walked by the African lion exhibit.
