Our local Assn. voted to go to greys before last season. Thus, any level we cover has greys...middle school, JV and varsity. I believe our state Assn. allows each local group the option.


And just for the record...is it grey or gray?

We, FIBA, are gray. Only British officials are grey, according to Merriam-Webster.

But Euroleague officials wear a horrible orange shirt.

Ciao

I think as long as you match, so be it, play ball!. Then again, they didn't ask me, so I'll stick to the black and white stripes. I know we've had this discussion before, but I'm pretty sure it will be a long, long time before Illinois is ever allowed to wear the greys legally.

In Georgia, the private schools have allowed officials to utilize the gray shirts for all of their games. Public schools continue to adhere to the black and white stripes.

Interesting...
around here, the schools don't have a say in what color we wear...our Association does.

Btw...we have decided to wear either black and white or gray...as long as the crew is the same of course.

Maybe I should have been a little clearer. The GA Independent School Association (State Governing Body) instituted the change to gray at the recommendation of several local Associations. We've had no such luck with the public school governing body.
