But they changed the shirt since you had a shirt. I think we have had the wider striped shirt for about 8 or 9 years now. So you would have to update the shirt anyway. I would not buy multiple shirts of positions you are not working, but would you not know this ahead of time? For example, I am a deep wing, it is very rare that I would work any other position but one of the three deep positions. Not to say that you may not ever have a surprise assignment, but then ask a partner or someone you know can you borrow their shirt. But honestly, the shirts are not even made in most cases made to put something on them without looking very shanky.
