While we do the same, and we're about to transition from a dark blue jacket to a black jacket, I wish we'd just eliminate them completely. There really is no need for them.

Years ago they used to allow the option of dark blue or black. Now we just can only wear black, which is cool with me. Peace

Definition Of Insanity ???
We had been happy with our locally produced jackets for a very long time, until we were told that they had some international trademark issues. We went to a new locally produced jacket with a new local logo, jackets selected by our executive committee. We didn't like it, it wasn't very wrinkle resistant, and had a satin finish (remember disco roller skating?). Executive committee decided to give those that didn't like the satin jacket a partial refund and came up a new locally produced jacket. First orders were fine. Last few orders were puffy jackets designed for outdoors (remember George Costanza in the liquor store in Seinfeld?). We've just received notice that those that don't like their puffy jackets will be given some type of refund.

https://www.purchaseofficials.com/cg...&category=3131 If you click back from that page, it's apparently been approved in Ohio and is offered with an OHSAA patch. They are also offering an Illinois-patched version, though not saying anything about whether it's been "approved." This needs to catch on NOW! Has anyone else seen these in use in other states? I know there will be pushback to keep the corny old jackets, but these are also less expensive somehow! OK, OK, I know I'm probably a little too excited |

I do not know who came up with the stand up collar design but I do not care for it. The Smitty Zip Front Jacket is what Mark, Jr., and I wear. We each have an OhioHSAA logo jacket and an IAABO logo jacket in that style. And back when I still worked college ball I had that the Smitty style jacket with the CCA logo. I retired from college ball just a the style of jackets that are being worn know we the required jackets. MTD, Sr.

So I'm assuming a few officials in your association are already wearing these standup-collar jackets, or will this be the first season?

The OhioHSAA mandates that basketball warmup jackets shall have be black with the embroidered OhioHSAA logo. There are only two websites that are allowed to sell the jackets and both carry the Smitty jackets, including the high collar jacket. MTD, Sr.
