They are not widely available yet. I am sure later in the summer and in the fall there will be a push. And I would not go around buying these shirts until your supervisors tell you what is to be worn. I bet that anyone working lower level ball college ball will not be buying these shirts automatically. This will likely start at the top and roll downhill later. I would not be surprised that the NAIA will not change anything this year or you will have to buy a special shirt with their patch on them. Just a guess, but if those shirts are not out yet that tells me there is some thought process as to how to implement this change. JD Collins showed the "shirt" at a camp but no one has them available yet. I also hear the jacket might change too.

Thanks for clarifying. If I understand this correctly, the new shirts will show up at the DI level before making their way into the marketplace and being required for DII/DIII officials. There will probably be a few years where officials have the option to wear either the traditional side panel shirt or the new type shirt as a crew before the new shirts are mandated for all levels, like many high school state associations have done when adopting new uniforms for officials.

The inbound spot changes are also surprising, but maybe the rules committee wanted the inbound spots to apply for any foul in the frontcourt, including dead ball contact technical fouls and flagrant 2 fouls.
