You mean you wear the stripes in the 1st and 3rd quarters and the gray in the 2nd and 4th? What do you do for OT, go naked? :eek:

Of course, that's not a concern of mine, since I don't allow OTs. :p

The little used 'hybrid' shirt comes into play here.

Yeah... Steve has assigned this tournament since it began 6 six or so years ago...

That is correct...Washington State.

Some associations, in our State, have been all gray for a few years. We have two associations in our area...Boys and Girls...an official may belong to one or both. I belong just to the Boys association. We have sort of dragged our feet in changing to grays. The girls association has been grays for at least 2 years.
If an official belongs to both associations...they needed to have both shirts.

We had one individual go to a District game out of our area a couple years ago.
He just had a stripe shirt...the area he was going to had changed to grays the year before. ( I think it was Yakima, WA)
The two officials from the area he was going to brought their gray shirts....as I said, he brought only his stripe shirt.
I hear it didn't look to good with 2 grays...and one stripe...doing a District playoff game.:o

I always carry both...in fact sometimes 2 grays and one stripe to really make sure.
