That is hideous, although I'm of the opinion that any black/white striped shirt is hideous. I would much rather wear the NBA shirts (New or old) or the gray shirts with black pinstripes.

I agree on both points...the new shirt doesn't look any worse than the current black and white IMO (which I only think looks good with wider stripes a la NCAA football/NFL).

We have been using grays for about 5 years. I hate them. There is absolutely NO advantage to wearing them. It is harder to identify partners on the floor because they don't stand out among players. Now the trend is to wear grays with black side panels. There seems to be no end to the gimmicks and trends manufacturers come up with and we buy into it.

Simple black stripes..stand out among a crowd of players and simple to manufacture.

We have to get Honig's shirts now, too. One other supplier. So, all of my Officials Choice shirts, which are of much better quality, are now rendered useless.

It's reminds of a cross between NCAA football shirts with the stripes, and NCAA basketball with the side panel.

So, we're becoming cross-dressers?

I'll reserve judgment until I actually see them ON an official.

I wear the wide stripes for college football and I think it's a huge improvement over the 1" stripes, so I'm guessing this won't bother me that much.

Just got the "official memo" from the state association.

And our local association is also talking about changing our jackets in the near future - sigh. Guess that's the price you have to pay for "the big time."
