Shirt Recommendation Time of the Year!

[HawkeyeCubP]

Last year I asked the question, bought a recommended model of shirt(s), and was happy with it. So I'd like to pose the question again: What shirt model/vendor are you super-happy with right now? Specifically, I prefer the thinner, super-bright, tight-weave micro-mesh-type shirts, and I need them with extra length. Let me know if you have any good recommendations.

Ump-Attire Ultimate Official's Shirt. It meets all of your requirements, including the long tail.

I concur. I bought 2 of them last season. They keep the sharp brightness of the white stripes exceptionally well.

Nice sale going on here:

The Official's Choice, Inc. - Basketball Referee Shirts

Most places carry the Smitty brand....... I would suggest that you wear a black "underarmour" type shirt to keep the sweat and moisture off the shirt.

I deal with Officlally Sports out of Pittsburgh. They ship everything that day and they have great customer service!!!!!

Too bad Honig's is the only dealer that can sell IAABO shirts. I'd like to get one of the super bright ones but am too lazy to have someone stitch the crest on.

I think Cliff Keen makes the best micro mesh or ultra mesh shirt. Then again I have worn different styles and I am OK with most of these kinds of shirts overall. I am not a big fan of the shinny kind, but I have one and it is OK with it too.

Peace

Agreed. I wish they would end that sweetheart deal with Honig's so I could have some choice.

I'm going to have to start pricing alternatives.

I purchased the IAABO patch from Honig's and I found the patch to be larger than the one that comes sewn on by Honig's. I decided it was too large a difference and returned the patch to Honig's.

Unfortunately, FHSAA decided to cut a deal with Honig's & one other supplier and is phasing in a shirt re-design, thus rendering my long-lasting Officials Choice shirts passe in a matter of about two seasons. The last shirt I got from Honig's started coming apart before the first season was done. I can only hope the other supplier has better quality.
