"It is permissible to wear either a blue or black jacket, but all crew members must wear the same color if jackets are worn"

The answer is True

Blue?!? Who wears Blue out there?

Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
Blue on blue now that we are through
Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
And I find I can't get over losing you
(1963, not a good year to breakup and have that song playing on the old AM radio. Where is Linda B. these days :( )

Anyway, I’ve run across some jackets that I would say were a very dark blue.

The Board I started with in 1998 (Shenandoah-Piedmont) in Virginia wears navy blue jackets. Personally I didn't like them, but when in Rome...

Back in the day.
 

I used to wear blue the first couple years of officiating basketball. It was allowed in our local Official's Association at one time. When I moved, I have not worn one since then. Saw the jacket in my Mom's closet this past weekend. I will never use it again. But it still looks nice, just not accepted anymore.

Peace

Portland uses navy blue.

Okay - I'll bite - what's the brown helmet award?


Also, I hate to play the fashion police, but: navy jacket and black pants???? :eek:

Actually the blue doesn't look all that bad! We wore them in Las Vegas for a while. The only problem there was had to do with the supplier. Different finishes on the jacket, shiny and dull didn't look uniform. Oh, there also wasn't real guidlines on what you could put on the jacket so that was different.
In a holiday tournament last year we wore blue addidas pull-overs. That looked good!
