Check the VHSL website....you'll find your new jacket....

I worked a Regional game tonight with our board Secretary and our association is not going to the VHSL jacket. We will continue to wear one with our Association logo.

Grunewar was referring to discussions about redesigning that logo and thus making new jackets necessary.

As for the new shirt- I don't see what's so ugly about it. I prefer the black and grey NBA style shirt but don't see how the rendering on the VHSL website is that much different from the NCAA side panel shirts.

Maybe the more infrequent, wider stripes won't be as slimming for me?!

I'm amused at these threads only because I live in a state where we'll be wearing the black and white stripes 20 years after everyone else has moved on to something else. I'm surprised we're not still wearing Byron collars (and I still see the occasional freshman / JV ref wearing one, BTW).

For example, we *still* are forbidden to wear black shirts in baseball and it took the entire state of officials ignoring the guy in charge before he relented and allowed black pants for every football game.

Lol. Remember I've met you. You have no need for "slimming" features.

But I do.

Just saw the new shirt in person today...I actually like it better then the current stripes. Wider stripes look better IMO then what is then the current width of the stripes. The side panel is not nearly as big as shown in the picture.

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.

That is pretty ugly logo ... although I am looking forward to the integrated patches. Of course that is assuming the cost isn't marked way up because the patch is built in.

Hate the gray shirt. If you sweat at all, it shows through. But I do like the gray with the black side panel better than the plain gray pinstripe.

Talked to our state guy over the weekend. It says CK has been pounding on him to buy their new shirts for football and basketball.

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.
