Any thoughts by the collective wisdom on the pros and cons of mesh or not?

They do snag from time to time. But I do not wear them to games, so it is not a problem. ;)

Snag on what?

I've been wearing the side panel shirts from Officials Choice now for 2 years. In fact, I think that's all I've worn this year. They are the best shirts I've worn. The Smitty shirts are good material wise, but the side panels don't have the stretchable material the OC shirts do -- which I think greatly benefits keeping the shirts tucked in.

Smooth, indeed. :cool:

Could we all only have enough experience already not to have to work a quick kid game here or there.

I must have an obsession with official gear. I am into my 8th year I own 2 old school polyester with the coller, 2 polyester without, I also have 4 smitty mesh cool fit ref shirts ( 2 each with flag going oppoisite way) One gray ref shirt. Four ref sansabelt pants.
In my state we decided to put the flag on the opposite sleve that our state patch is on. When they first put them on they put them on as if you would look at the flag it was correct. But being on your right arm the stars should be in the other corner of the flag (closest to your heart.) Some people think this is a big deal others may not. The state said either is exceptable since the flag need to be displayed like that on military uniforms only. I have both so when I work with certain people (like military vets) I can wear the uniform with the flag that has the stars closer to my heart.

Any time I wear a flag, it will have the stars forward, as if it is moving forward and not in retreat.
That said, it doesn't bother me how others wear it.

I would never go to any game dressed unless in a very big time pinch. And a shirt is the last thing I would be wearing to the game. That is what the bag is for. ;)

In your 10th year you will get rid of the collared shirts. Makes a nice gift for wife or significant other. :D

I need to introduce you to a guy named TJones1.;) I think you may be twins who were separated at birth.... except for the byron collar shirts. I'll bet he just has those for football.
