undershirt question

[bjmac41]

Hello all...I'm a new IHSA official and have a question regarding undershirts...I apologize for not having my first post be a little more interesting...I purchased a black sleeveless Reebok playdry undershirt and tried it on under my ref shirt, but the top of it shows in the front...I know undershirts shouldn't really show so I was wondering what you guys do...I couldn't find any v-neck sleeveless dri-fit kind of undershirts so do you all cut the collar off or make a v-neck on your own...or do you not wear undershirts? thanks for any tips!

If you're wearing a black undershirt for comfort, I don't see a problem. That's just my 2 cents.

a little black showing is OK.

This is the kind I wear. They look great with my fishnets. Just ask Juulie.

Great?? They look great?!?! Wow, I'll certainly disagree with that! and that's not because I"m in a bad mood!

Brian = while an undershirt shouldn't show from under a dress shirt, it's not a problem to have a bit of black peeking out around your collar of a ref shirt. (The collar is black and it'll blend right in.)

Actually, one of the best D-I refs I know wears a grey undershirt for every game. Always throws me off when I see it.

I'm not a fan of the undershirts showing, so I get an Under Armour tactical V neck shirt. Also has a dark instead of white logo. I've got a few of them and a couple of more on order.

I know Honigs sells a McDavid V-Neck undershirt. Loose fit and compression. I wore it for a season and didn't like it. I use the underarmour short sleeve compression shirt or a nike compression shirt.

Always wondered what Padgett looks like.

Okay, so "always" is a bit strong, and "wondered" is an overstatement.

It's all personal preference. I wear the McDavid V-Neck and like it a lot.

I once wore an undershirt (slightly visible) for a scrimmage game and was informed to get rid of it by a sr ref. Best to avoid the conflict or criticism all together IMO.

Whether the undershirt shows or not really is more about the types of shirts you wear and the size. I personally buy v-neck undershirts and those for the most will not show. It is something that is hard to always do unless you buy both at the same time and try them on at the same time (which is very hard in the when most cannot be bought in a walk-in store).

I always wear a black u/s, and have never been told anything negative about wearing it.

Here's a picture of me and my brother. I really don't care which one you think I am.

I wear black sleeveless undershirts all the time. The small amount of black that is exposed blends in with the black trim on the collor and is almost impossible to see. No problems here.

I have a wonderful wife who is kind enough to convert my crew neck shirts into V-neck. Don't let the black show over the collar of your striped shirt. Just my $.02.
