Microsmesh shirts?
I wanted to ask this question in another thread but it is closed so hopefully this will not degenerate.
I wear both the polyester and micromesh shirts. The polyester is hotter and not as comfortable but seems to look sharper. One fellow official said that wearing a black undershirt with the microsoft makes the white stripes brighter. Another official implied a white undershirt is better. Any comments? |

Maybe someone from the Optics and Light Division of our Physics forum needs to weigh in. |

Which micormesh are you wearing? The Cliff Keen's have a pretty solid appearance as well as the Officials Choice. the only one I bought that was kind of see through was a Honig's and that was about 7 years ago so I'm assuming they've improved their material. I always wear black underneath.

The local association requires a black undershirt, so no experience with the white...but I think the black under the micromesh looks good.

For one thing, all these shirts are polyester. Its just that the lighter versions are not the old doubleknit poly like the traditional shirts.
For another, I wear the OC shirts in both football and basketball. There is no see-through effect for my black undershirts from any distance. I wear the UA shirts that have a black logo, but I think up close one might be able to make out the white logo of the undershirt if he looked real close. Finally, I don't really consider the OC or CK premium shirts to be mesh. I guess in a technical sense they are, but you can't see through the holes in my shirts. I've got a 2 year old Honigs micro-mesh shirt where the holes are apparant, at least up close. If I'm wearing an OC shirt, from 5 feet, you can't tell one way or the other what shirt I have. The only recommendation I can make is to junk your old doubleknit shirts, unless, for whatever reason you like them. Get the OC or CK shirts. I'd also like to see everyone go to the side panel shirts. The slightly different, flexible material means the shirt stays tucked in while doing the various arm motions required of working. |

Please tell me that you're not wearing a collared-shirt to officiate basketball. Or are talking about the black border on the vee? |

The v-necks that you like, Scrapper, can be "neutral" in color (ie, white, black or grey). And we think only the "fashions" of the teams get policed....
