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......

I've seen it in person which helped convince it that it wasn't that bad.

Just be glad you don't do football. You'd be stuck with a collar to compound the ugliness...

I like the collared look for football. The old school collared look in hoops is hilarious though.

Maybe I'll do a collar with belted, faded black dockers and white socks for church hoops league sometime. That'd be a hoot.

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.
