We cannot wear the shirt for HS games, usually when I see someone wearing this shirt it is out or ignorance more than anything. Considering I know most college officials that I will work with and have some idea of what they work, I would not consider this big timing. Who are they trying to big time? If anything this tells me they are too cheap to buy a different shirt (and we have patches).

Peace

Unless the shirt is normally worn in any area, would you see any of those same people wearing a byron collar? The answer to that says all you need to know about why they are wearing it instead of the standard shirt.

Usually a guy wearing a Byron collar is too lazy or cheap to buy new equipment. Usually means they are officiating off of rules that have changed years ago too. Then again I have not seen one of these shirts in probably 8 or 9 years and before that was my first year when people still wore them and still in the NF book.

Had a partner on a soph boys game when I first started who had what he thought was perfect solution for new shirts. He had his wife cut off the 'byron' on his shirt. It looked like a Nehru jacket.

Same guy who as we are going to other end to shoot 1 and 1 with players lined up and shooter misses first one with subsequent rebound, now we have a whistle. He informs me that he called a tech at other end but didn't tell me.

The good old days!

In my neck of the woods, 3 different shirts can be found.

1. B/W stripes. Both with and without the side panel.

2. Solid grey No pin stripes.

3. The Fiba shirt- black sleeves, grey body.

The FIBA shirt is by far the most comfortable shirt I've ever had.

This is the second time someone has gone from comparing the colors/patterns of a shirt to claiming that one was more comfortable....as if the colors/patterns have something to do with the comfort.

It's the material the shirt of the particular colour happens to be made out of.
