Pregame Jackets

The jacket salesman, an official who is a member of our local board, did not recommend this version to our executive committee. He liked the cloth outer shell version that didn't wrinkle. Our executive committee also selected a local logo that looks very amateurish. Worst decisions ever made by our executive committee. Now were stuck with a wrinkled jacket, with a stupid logo, for many years to come, probably until I retire.

+1 on the stupid satin look. Very 1980's...which is when our logo and jacket was designed. Believe it or not, the stupid logo incites more debate at meetings than ANY other topic including playoff crew eligibility. And the jackets are sold to us by a past president of the association. Once in a while, with like minded partners, we'll just skip wearing them pre-game and risk a fine for being out of uniform. Not only are they funky looking, they're too hot for Florida.
