Where do u guys get your grey shirts. I know that Honigs is sold out in my size until march, and i sorta need a new shirt now. I know about Blue and Grey, but i'm not a big fan of their shirts, becuase i've gotten too used to the poly-cool shirts, and the ones from Blue and Grey are really heavy and hot.

So, do any of you guys know where to get a dri-fit type shirt anywhere but Honigs??

I'm from New Brunswick and we've gone to the black and white for the last three years. Sorry I can't help.

I got my grey poly-mesh from Gene at Blue and Grey.

We're going to stripes though for next year.

ref18 Sat Dec 20, 2003 07:14pm

Everyone gets to go to stripes, and we have to stay with the greys.

Just out of curiosity, rgaudreau, what association are you with??

canuckrefguy Sat Dec 20, 2003 07:47pm

I'm in Alberta, where we just went to stripes this year. We buy from Team Skyline, I think they are clearing out the last of their "international" grey shirts.

I'm from B.C. , we just went to stripes, no more grey.
Shirts from Team skyline, in North Vancouver,B.C.
Talking to players and coaches they like the stripes.
I thought it was a good move for stripes.

What provinces are with the stripes now??

Is Ontario the only one still wearing greys??

When will we get with the times?

Irony
 
I find this discussion a bit ironic. Here in the States, referees are getting excited about the possibility of switching from stripes to grays. It seems that "with the times," simply means, "moving to something different." However, the grays being marketed down here are a bit different, as they have black pin-striping, and are spelled with an 'a' instead of an 'e';-)

Up here, we spell a few words differently: grey, centre, colour, theatre, labour (and many more).

I'm with the Timmins Basketball Officials Association.

We've made a local decision to go with the stripes. We've done a few of our tournaments with the stripes and reaction has been very positive. At our last meeting we decided we would switch over. So we are gradually fading out the greys between now and next season.

In Québec, we are still with the grey shirts and I haven't heard any words on changing for the stripes. However there's the men's college league (CEGEP) who is now being refereed with stripes shirt.

Welcome to the forum.

Mark Padgett will be in touch with you. :D

You might remember Padgett from such threads as:

"Why France is better than chocolate"

"Why I think France is the bravest country on Earth"

"Why Division I Basketball should switch to FIBA rules"

"10 Reasons why George W. Bush should resign"

canuck, do you have links? I don't remember reading Mark's posts in those threads. . . :confused:

ref18 Sun Dec 21, 2003 12:53pm

Take it from me, switching from the stripes to the greys is a big mistake. With more and more companies manufacturing the grey shirts you will see differences in colour. It looks awful if every member of a 3-man crew has a different colour shirt. Stick with the stipes. Here in Hamilton, we should switch to stripes within the next 2 years, I hope.

Chuck, take your tongue, put it in your cheek, break out the salt shaker, and read my post again :)

Incidentally, if the search function was working, I'd be able to throw out at least half a dozen links. The one "NCAA vs FEEBLE" comes to mind.

And Merry Christmas!

Physician, heal thyself ;)

Course, in Canada, I'm not sure how long it'll take for you to get an office appointment with yourself. :)
