This jacket is ludicrous and I hope they go back to the original one next year.

I seriously doubt this is going to change anytime soon. We really need to get used to it.

Secondly, I really do not understand why people still think we are not to be noticed. We are going to be noticed because everyone focuses on us anyway.

I've heard that's not effective in preventing, uhm, the side effects, of officiating.

We are in a YouTube, internet era. There are website dedicated to who works games and the records based on who is working. I really do not think many people do not notice the officials during the game. I have been in arenas where people started taunting them before the game started and these jackets were not worn yet. I think the jackets are not going to change the level of visibility that much. Just a guess on my part.

In case you didn't know, Jeff, I agree with you on this.

BTW, I do think the jackets are ugly, but I do not get to make that choice now do I?

I think they're beyond ugly. But hey, I don't have to wear one.

Maybe in a year or two?

I never said anything about "not being noticed." I phrased it as drawing attention to ourselves. There's a big difference and this has nothing to do with You Tube. Last year, we weren't going to be on You Tube due solely to the jacket we are wearing. This year, who knows.

I still do not see the big deal. The stripes are not as flattering, but I really do not think anyone cares. Certainly the jackets are not as noticeable as what the NBA wears and I am sure they get along with those ugly things as well.

The only big deal is, why change?
