Had one game where one partner wore the inset stripe. The funny thing was that because he was much more barrel chested than either me or our third, it just made it look like he had an extra piece sewn in to make it shirt fit. :D

Not flattering on his part...

Ditto in Wisconsin! However....they were very cool when asked about adopting an optional "alternate" shirt, like the 'Gray Shirt w/black pinstripe' option. (That was two years ago.) What's the difference if the crew is uniform? Any arguements? :rolleyes:

These are my feelings, but whatever. So be it I guess...

TJ, I ordered three of these shirts for my crew, so that we would all have identical shirts. Ordered from Honig's in early November. They were backordered until 11/27. I called on 11/30 and was told they were still on BO until mid-January. So even if you wanted to, you probably couldn't get one anyway. :(

I saw they were backordered until December. I didn't realize they have pushed it back yet again. Well, I broke down and ordered mine from the OC. To be honest, I was happy with the service I got from there and their shipping costs were way, way down!

So if push comes to shove, you might give the OC a try if you really want them. It seems like everyday I'm getting an e-mail from them for some promo.

I know a lot of you do not like Official's Choice.....I don't either because they "play" with their shipping rates so much. Shirt pricing seems GREAT....but you get "nailed" on shipping if you choose to order more than one. (Even then....they play with that "new" single shirt rate as well.)

Whatever.....if you're deperate.....OC has the shirt in stock as of this writing....if you want an American flag on the sleeve.....they "play" with that price as well. (Guess they suck the thumb....hold it in the air....and see which way the wind is blowing???? :(

Merry Christmas.....and PEACE...Please! :o

Well, I did order three of the "collegiate" shirts from the OC because they were the only place that had them in stock and for $19.95 each. I did not think that the shipping was bad for the three of them at $10.63.
I just ordered them yesterday, so I do not know how soon I will be receiving them, but I will keep everyone updated.
