Shirts (Poll)

[Mark Padgett]

If you can believe this, last year one of my rec assignors started to require we wear the gray striped shirts for the games he assigned. He set himself up to sell them to the refs. He said we would have up to one season to get them but then everyone had to wear them to all games or he would drop you from his list. This one season of "leeway" resulted in partners wearing different shirts, (I would bring both styles to games to match my partner) but since this is MS rec, it was no big deal. I bought two (not from him) since I worked for him two or three nights a week.

Now, it's a new season this year and he has been replaced as the assignor by that organization for the area in which I live. The new assignor expects everyone to wear the "standard" shirt. This means I have two of the gray striped ones just hanging in my closet, possibly forever.
