Connecticut was almost exclusively an IAABO state for boys basketball about thirty years ago. Gray jersey with a blue "Byron" collar, blue piping, and an IAABO "sewn on" (not embroidered) patch. Gray T-shirt. Choice of black, or blue, pants. Acme Thunderer whistle with a cork "pea". Black "shoelike" (not "sneakerlike") shoes with ripple soles that I got resoled by a local cobbler every few years. Optional blue IAABO jacket with gray crew neck collar and gray piping.

Can you hear Barbra Streisand singing in the background? "Memories, Like the corners of my mind, Misty watercolor memories, Of the way we were..."

Most if not all chapters in Texas that went with the UIL are now wearing gray's. Dallas is only wearing them for varsity and JV/varsity combos but I think most chapters have switched completely (or so I've heard). I don't know how many stayed with TASO and are (I assume) still wearing stripes for all their games.

In the Houston UIL chapter, we can only wear greys for the semi-finals and finals of varsity tournaments. For everything else, we must wear the stripes. This may change in the future but for now, that is the requirement.

I have no idea what the TASO chapter does.

Fort Worth still wearing black & whites but lots of talk about switching to gray next year for varsity contests

Here in my part of Washington State, some were wearing Black & White, others wearing Grey last year. Over this next week, I'll have to ask the officials which one they prefer. If my memory serves me right however, for Regionals & State everyone was wearing the black & white last year.

Incorrect. The grey shirts are required for all State tournaments in WA, recommended for all District tournaments. Most associations in WA use the stripes for sub-varsity and the grey for varsity games. The overriding factor is that all wear the same in each game, of course, so if one doesn't have the grey, all wear the stripes.

Rockyroad,

I worked the 4A Regionals in Kennewick last year, most of the crews had grey, some had stripes. I have noticed via the news that some are stripes for Varsity contests. I've noticed that all the crew must be uniform for a game. The district I'm located in is District 5 (YVIAA), unsure what the local officials association is called. I have noticed that grey is becoming more prominent.
