With all respect to the late Mendy...
Zebra is still the easiest to spot on the court; whether you're a player or another official, you can see out of the corner of your eye and know it's an official. That's the point behind stripes, just as that's the point behind requiring one team to wear white. We should never even come close to blending in. Dressing NBA officials in those absurd shirts they're wearing this year has done more for igniting retro interest in 1970s Memphis
Tams and 1980s Houston Astros uniforms that it has for advancing "professionalism"
We're the fashion police, not the fashion models.
Besides, Footlocker would have to change its uniform, and we can't have all those minimum wage shoe-fitters being forced to spend $35 bucks on a new shirt.
