I DON'T wear pleated pants, so it's not the "everybody's doing it" reason for me. And it's not the "newness" of the gray shirts that I don't like. I don't like the way they look! They look CHEAP, like a minor league volleyball league or a defunct summer football league or a Canadian Football League uniform. The stripes are a sharper, more professional look.

You don't wear pleated pants? I thought everyone had made the switch by now.

So let me get this straight...you say stripes are more professional than gray but yet don't think pleats looks more professional than what you're wearing??

What's wrong with a belt?!?!

(Just gotta bring up the belt/beltless thread again!)

Personally I like a belt or two after the game.

Call me an old fogey -- but I like the stripes much better. Just a matter of personal taste.
