Back in the day, the shirts were gray, no stripes, a navy collar and a zippered front. That day was late 70s, so the zebra shirt is not necessarily the 'tradition'.
My first recollection of basketball games goes back to the late '50s. Now this was in northern Ohio and things may have been different elsewhere, but in HS ball I have never seen anything but stripes until the last few years when the gray became the latest fad. I have played, coached or officiated since 1959 and stripes are the traditional credible uniform in basketball for me. My first basketball game as an official was in 1973.
