Gray Shirts

[wfd21]

We wear them exclusively here in Maine. I prefer the stripes wich we wear in college. I don't have any trouble picking up my partner with grey. But I am a traditionalist. Also the gray shows the persperation in the armpits much worse than black & white, which I don't like. Also we have IAABO patches on grey shirts and Honigs has a lock on them. So if you don't like their shirts, which I don't, tough luck. They did offer a sew-on patch at our association meeting this Jan. for the first time in years. But I like the embroidered patch much better.

I like them and wish that the OhioHSAA and the MichiganHSAA would at least allow the crew to choose to which shirt to wear; right now both states mandat the black and white stripes. Whenever Daryl H. "The Preacher"Long and MTD, Jr., officiate Special Olympics together we wear gray.

Besides, i think they make me look svelte, .

...(National IAABO Interpreter) and Maine to allow, it should be OK for other states to wear the greys. In NH, the state IAABO board outlawed in 2011 the wearing of greys after allowing them to be worn for several years. The board did not cosult its members/officials.

Couldn't get the black IAABO patches as a standalone. And my Honig's shirt is coming apart in its FIRST season. All gray in all of my FL Assns that I have worked [4]. Looking at alternatives for next year's shirt order. Did I tell you my Honig's shirt was coming apart at the collar and one of the pinstipes is separating? And that they have not responded to an email I sent?

I sweat bad. I don't care what color (or colour) they are, I want a tank top!

To the poster about the wide side panel shirts in HS. I don't like them either. Reason being most HS guys don't have them. The people we see wearing them despite our prohibition against them are:

1. Guys who also do small college and want a "look at me I do college games".

2. Guys that can only get in a college game with a ticket that want to pretend they do college games.

Call them then. I wouldn't sit back and wait for them to respond.

I had a problem with a shirt I bought from Purchase Officials, called them, and they sent me a shirt free and paid for the return shipping, too.
