White and black or greys

[AKOFL]

Started a new association and was wondering if we could wear greys. Have seen others doing it. does anyone have any details or info on weather it is OK or not?

It depends on your state and how you want to run your association. One board I used to belong to wore grey shirts, complete with integrated IAABO patch. Once the state tournament started, those officials had to wear black and white.

Illinois doesn't allow them (greys). Only the standard black and white shirt (no panels).

I sure there are others, but the only state I know that allows them is Flordia.

Montana also allows the grays or black and whites. For a while the state was going to use only grays, but that has been pushed back and I would say most use the black and whites.

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.

FLORIDA allows them at local assn. level as well as through the state tournament. Personally, I prefer the stripes...makes it easier to locate partners on a crowded floor, but that's just me.

I could care less what my state thinks. I will have to spend as much time kissing *** here since I move states as getting back into JUCO. So if one of my guys wants to where the grey so be it. Schools will assign officials who have there Sh!t together. State will assign the who they want for the tournament. Means absolutely nothing to me.

Here in Ohio, you work under the direction of the OHSAA. The greys are expressly forbidden as Mark Denucci so eloquently detailed previously.

I noticed you are from Illinois so you can do what you want, until someone writes you up and the IHSA revokes your license. Then the only thing you would be able to do is college and those supervisors are not all on the same page with those shirts either. You can do what you want, but there are consequences to anything like this.
