In the league I work in primarily, we do three games back-to-back-to-back most of the time, so mesh might be a good thing for me to look into. By that third game, I'm usually pretty hot in the poly.

I've never seen guys in the grays. Who uses them, JRut?

I carry both in my bag and I match my partner. I prefer the mesh but here in Texas it is hot, expecially when you get 1000 people crowded into a gym that seats 800. You are in Ohio. Different story. When in Rome....

I actually just recieved my first mesh shirts today. They are that "new softer mesh" the officials choice is plugging everywhere. But the one thing I gotta admit, the shirts are much lighter (the weight) and cooler than my poly shirts. I haven't tested them out in a game yet, but plan to do so this coming weekend. The great thing about them is that unless you're eyes are about a foot away from the shirt, you can't tell it's mesh.

No one in this area allows them that I am aware of. I am talking about college ball. The assignor wants officials to wear the gray in his conferences that I just got hired in. I have not been an advocate of the gray at this point. Maybe I will change my mind after this season.

Well, congrats. I thought maybe the NBA hired you, since they wear gray. :)

Which conference, Jeff?

There was (last year? prior year?) a specific NCAA directive that the gray shirts were not allowed.

I am not going to say it here.
 

I realize that, but he wants his officials to wear these shirts. I do not make the rules I just follow them. There is a reason those shirts are selling. There are a lot of college officials that are allowed to wear them. I know I would have never bought one of those shirts if I did not have to wear it during the season.

Peace

Just to finish the thought, I received my mesh shirt yesterday and it is suh-weet. It's so much lighter.
