Question

This may be a stupid/petty question but, are there any states out there that are allowing their high school officials to wear the gray officiating shirts?

The NFHS Manual (Page 10) states that: "Standard black/white vertically striped" shirts are the approved uniform, and our state has chosen to follow that interpretation to the letter, not allowing anyone to wear the gray shirt. We actually had officials fined last year for wearing the gray shirts for high school contests.

Many of our officials feel that the gray shirts are very comfortable and look much better than the standard black and white. Just curious the see if anyone out there is wearing the new gray shirt.

No, not in high school games. Like you said, NFHS defines pretty clearly what the uniform is. Smoref happens to think that his pink thong looks better on the outside of his ref pants, but we don't let him wear that around here either. He tried once and we fined him too.

We have worn the gray shirts for varsity games in Arizona for several years. We are going back to black and white this year. Most officials are glad for the switch, other than having to buy new shirts. The gray shirts were nasty. They wrinkle badly and really show the sweat.

[/B][/QUOTE]As per the the NFHS, all thongs must be black and white striped. It's in the casebook somewhere.

Unhappy

I am in Florida and this year it is an option for associations.
My association has decided to make the switch
I wish we would stay with the black and white, but some people like change just for the taste of change.

That link is unbelievable.

I would try the gray shirt if everybody in my area wanted to, but frankly, I don't see why it's any better.

Are you kidding? Do you think that any of us really want to imagine Chuck in a thong?


Just wouldn't seem right, somehow.

Why didn't you post this about two weeks earlier. We just celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary last Saturday. I could have gotten it for her for our anniversary. If I had gotten it for my better half, I would now be online looking for a good divorce lawyer.
