Uniform
I officiated Volleyball years ago in North Carolina. Unfortunately, my job took me away from God's country where I intend to get back to some day, so now I decided to get back into it in PA. Wouldn't you know, they make us wear the old striped referee shirts. The association I am in would like to go to the customary while officating shirts, but the higher ups in PA won't allow it. Apparently, what I hear through the grapevine is that some of the women feel it would look "see through" and another argument is that they say we wouldn't be recognized in white shirts where everyone knows exactly who you are in the striped shirt.
I like the white shirts as they were more comfortble in the warmer months and I thought they looked great. I figure there are shirts out there that are not "see through". After all, this isn't a wet t-shirt contest...LOL. As far as knowing who we are, I guess the black pants and emblem on the shirt stating "Volleybal Certified Official" does't give it away.
Anyone else wearing stripes? PA needs to get with the times?
