New FAT STRIPE shirts they are making us use in VA

[Rich]

Does nobody care about the quality of the shirt and only the price? I'm just amazed that the only thing being mentioned here is price.

Maybe there are some polyester models out there for $20 - you should keep looking.

Can you spell m-o-n-o-p-o-l-y?
This is a Virginia specific situation. Acceptable shirts, per VHSL, must have the new, improved VHSL logo sublimated onto the fabric. Only VHSL can supply this trademarked design.

Everyones agrees it's a total money grab...... but what you can you do?

I haven't heard one argument from the VHSL on why they made the change....

My understanding is that the sublimated logo is optional. You can buy your own wide-stripe shirt anywhere and then velcro/sew a traditional patch on it.

Of course that makes very little sense to me. But technically, you do have options if you really don't like the VHSL-partnership.

Living in a no-logo (no patch, no nothing except an optional flag) on the shirt state is a great thing, trust me.

Missouri sends us a new patch every year for each sport we register in. They do require that they be worn but we don't have to buy a special shirt for it.

I tried but have not been able to view the so-called "fat stripe" shirt.
Is it more fashionable?
than the current striped shirts ?

I only wore it once last year as it was optional, this year it is mandatory.

The change wasn't made for fashion's sake, it was made specifically to put $$$ in somebody's (some bodies') pockets.

I hate them....good think I am scaling back on the HS level.
