My recollection is that we moved into v-necks about 1995 or so.

No, it's not grey. Or if it is, it's due to age and poor laundry quality.

It's fun watching old game footage of the NCAA and NCAA tournament in the 80's and 90's. Everyone's fashions were hilariously terrible...including the zebras. Their mechanics and two-man crews were interesting as well. Fun to watch.

It was around my first year in 1996-1997. They did not outlaw them at that point, but the V-neck was becoming popular and officials had a choice. The very first games I worked had a collar. By the end of the year I did not wear a collar at all in any games from what I can remember.

I actually in my very first games wore a football shirt (they had a front pocket) and never bought an actual basketball shirt that year. Never looked back from there.

Peace

Funny you should bring this up. I ended up in a 2 man game Friday night that was NOT supposed to be 2-man. It was made worse by the fact that we were filling holes created by someone who had an emergency and wasn't able to make it that day, and with no one to fill in, the two of us on that game were working our 4th game of the day. I don't even want to see the tape of that one. I know it was awful.

The same time firemen stopped wearing red suspenders.
