Did anyone see the Duke/Davidson game on ESPN tonite? The officials were wearing NBA style shirts. When did this happen and when is it allowed.

Peace

some of the mid-major level d-1 conferences and the ACC wear the nba style shirt. it was announced at the d-1 meatings pior to the season. though i have heard that the nc2a is not happy with the decision. (the rule book specifies white and black striped shirt as officials uniform) i think they look better than the traditional black and white.

I have seen several ACC games this year and have only seen the regular shirts.

and I have not at all seen these shirts until tonite. I have seen these shirts in catalogs, but I did not realize that anyone other them some pro-am leagues would be using them.

Just out of curiosity, were the games you saw ACC vs. ACC or were they inter-conference? Maybe they're only being used for conference play (insuring that all the officials are ACC and actually have the correct shirt).

Conference games.

The Duke vs Davidson game that is being referred to in this post is non-conference.

These shirts were approved for most, if not all, the mid-major Division 1 leagues (Ohio Valley, Atlantic Sun, Colonial, Big South) in the south/south eastern part of the country. From personal experience, they are very comfortable and I like them better than the black and white. From what I have been told, they might alter them some next year and put a third color (red I heard) in it, maybe on the collar and sleeves. Additionally, they are not approved in SEC or ACC games this year. I think it is possible that they might get approved for next year though. That game, as you know, was a non-conference game but assigned by the conference officiating supervisor for the home team.

What do ya'll think of them? I really think they look sharp.
