Officials Uniform Problems

[CDurham]

Here in North Carolina we have gone to the Grey/Black pinstripe shirt for the NCHSAA. I officiated a Middle School game tonight and out of routine I put on my Grey/Black. In the back of my mind though I wondered if they did wear the standard Black/White, but preceded with the Greys. I get there only to see my partner sitting down in his White/Black. The time was 4:05 and the game was at 4:15. I told him my situation and elected to go home and change. I spun the tires out of the parking lot and went 150 down the road.

Needless to say, I made it back in time for game time. But this is one of the many frustrations of Middle School and High School being different here and or the Association electing to change to the Grey/Black.

They do look sharp though, but would like to see a standard for all schools in NC
