Why doesn't the crew wear the same style shirt? Tonight, both female officials wore the standard shirt, while the guy wore the wide side stripe insert shirt.

What's the NCAA standing on this one?

For the 2006-2007 season the NCAA Rule Books states under Rule 2.1 art.2 The officials' uniform shall be a black-and-white striped shirt, which may have a 3-inch wide black insert, and black pants.

For some of the conference's I'm in we are allowed to wear it if the whole crew has it. I guess it's a preference. I think I saw a women's game early this season where the crew was wearing it. I know for a fact from an officiating supplier that women do wear them because she had a bunch of small in the men's size since the womens cut was made yet.
