Is your unit going to allow this jacket?

[Kevin Finnerty]

Two guys wore this and the navy version to the first meeting, and the unit VP said it was approved for 2009.

Its not approved by the OhioHSAA for H.S. baseball and fastpitch softball.

Approved for use by SCCUA, CCAA and Big West out here on West Coast. My HS association doesn't care what we wear as long as we match. Last year for fun my partner and I went total old school with button up light blue shirts and black polyester pants for one game. Followed it a week later with Hawaiian shirts.

Yes, it was approved last year here, if all your partners had it.

[bobbybanaduck]

no. MA is requiring the honigs shoulder stripe as the only acceptable jacket starting this season.

Don't you think the black pants and Hawaiian shirts are a bit much? They are really untraditional or outdated.

No, but having a sense of humor about it is really up to date!

Oh, and there are associations out there that use the black pants still! Some manufacturers still carry plate pants in black.

You actually worked a high school game wearing a Hawaiian-print shirt ? I could see it if you were at Cooperstown, but a high school game ? No.

I would do a coat and tie throwback deal on a turn-back-the-clock night or something, but I would never do the Hawaiian shirt routine.

I'm sure do think that way. I bet you would be shocked to find out guys wear Honig's pants for HS games too

[Klokard]

There are some serious stuffed shirts on this forum aren't there?!? I realize we have an image of professionalism to maintain but it's more important what happens on the field that counts. The Hawaiian shirts were less shocking than the intro of the Crimson shirts not that many years back.

Ah, who told you this? Not that I am interested in wearing it, but has that come down from somebody in the Office?

First, let's keep my unit out of it.

Secondly, doesn't it remind you of a Member's Only jacket? Was it Starsky or Hutch I last saw wearing this tunic? Plus, horizontal stripes on some of our more, um, larger fellows isn't flattering.

[Kevin Finnerty]

The MLB version also comes with a polo stripe.

Not even the GT racing stripe saves this from being a smock.
