White and black or greys

[AKOFL]

what state enitity do you contact about that?

Whoever governs your particular area, presumably the Alaska High School Activities Association. I'm assuming they are the ones who certify officials and make post season decisions.

Stripes here in Ohio, but that said, I really prefer gray. I think it looks classy.

Now we need a discussion as to whether one likes GRAY or GREY.

Some here are wearing the stripes, while others are wearing the grey. The crew last night had on the grey, but I've seen some on tv wearing the stripes.

Yes we do. Just trying figure out, if and how, anyone else took steps to wear the greys. Can a association adopt them without going through the state? Just looking for some insite or help. thanks

Again, every state is different. In many, the state association sets the rules on what officials may wear. I'm sure that's not true everywhere.

I'd start with contacting your state association.

I'd check with this group. I'm sure they'd be able to get you your answer.

I think the myth that people keep holding on to is that the NF has oversight over their officials. They do not have that kind of power. The NF is only as strong as the states allow them to be. There is no one size fits all answer. If your state or organization wants to use a different shirt, they can do that. The only ramifications are when the overseeing body (not the NF) says it is not OK. All I know is my state the IHSA dictates all these things. The NF has absolutely no say over what our officials do. And even local associations have no say. The IHSA licenses us and we pay dues to that organization to be allowed to work for their membership. I am sure this works similarly in your area, even if it is not decided at the state level.
