I forgot about the blue stretch band on the bottom of the jersey. Proper uniform etiquette was to wear the jersey untucked.



Man. We looked cool in these. This uniform was a real chick magnet. Hot, single, Moms would wait for us outside the locker room. We were treated like rock stars. Rock stars, I tell you.

In VA we use ye ole black and white stripes.

I have seen the grays used for AAU and other leagues, but nothing scholastic related in my experience.

Missouri and Kansas (MSHSAA and KSHSAA) require b/w stripes and black pants. Now, if they'd only outlaw pants with belt loops and belts.

Monetary cost aside, I'm actually a fan of the shirts.

I've just seen the photos. So, I'll reserve judgement on that aspect......

Yes he could. Here in the Provisions State, we're an equal opportunity employer. All genders, races, ethnic groups, nationalities, religions, and sexual identity groups, can officiate. You can wear beltless slacks, or you can wear belted slacks, as long as the belt is black. You can wear flat pants, or pleated pants, as long as they're black. You can be bald, balding, or have a full head of hair. You can wear plain leather shoes, or patent leather shoes, as long as they're all black. You can be tall, short, or anywhere in between. You can use a Smitty lanyard, a noose lanyard, or no lanyard, as long as you use a Fox 40 whistle, or something that sounds similar. Yes, we do have a very liberal uniform policy here, but hey, Connecticut is often described as the bluest state in the Union.

Just one thing. It's kind of important. You have to be able to officiate basketball. If not, we will discriminate against you.

And don't even think about showing up for a high school game with a college jacket.
