Would you favor a gradual move to...

...the side panel shirts in your association, league, conference, etc? For the purposes of the question, just assume everyone would either go or not to the panel.

For me, I would. At least with the shirts I have (Officials Choice brand), the side panel is a slightly different fabric that is more of a mesh than the rest of the shirt. There seems to be a little more of an "all-way" stretch to it and it seems to me, anyway, to be a bit more comfortable while doing the various signals we do as hoops officials.

I would. But then, I'm a sucker for finding reasons to spend money on officiating gear every new sport season.

I like the side panel shirts because I like the look and the shirts I have also feel great when wearing them. They are not too heavy and they are very soft and breathable. You do not have to twist my arm to make the change. I hope they do allow these shirts at some point.

Peace

We changed to the grey shirts last year. Hopefully we won't be changing again right away.

I don't care what shirts the officials wear as long as the entire crew looks the same.

I wouldn't want to switch. I think the panels look like a device to try to make chubby guys look thin.

Agreed. No GRADUAL switch for me.
