I'd love to have some type of jacket I'd actually wear outside a gym.

My thoughts exactly! Have our prayers been answered with this one?

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
