Their design is becoming more common, they are not as hot as your regular navy blue shirts, and they come with larger shoulders so that they can go over a chest protector. I'm wondering if they would fit on the bases as well. It might be a worthwhile investment- if everyone starts wearing them I'll be stuck with the old kind of shirt.

If others in your association are wearing them, then you could use them. They are not common in other areas.

The "design" (and I assume by that you mean the stripes, etc) has nothing to do with how "cool" they are or the size of the shoulders, etc.

iirc, the designer wanted to "build a better mousetrap." I applaud his initiative. I deplore his fashion sense.
