Yep. The state has even gone as far as threaten post-season assignments for those "caught" wearing black shirts.

However, a bulletin written earlier this year suggested navy or black jackets for cold weather.

---------------------

So we typically wear 2 combinations here: black jackets OR polo blue shirts -- the uniforms that mean we can wear black hats. What I'd really like to get across is that I don't really hate navy -- I hate having to keep navy hats just for the few HS games a season (like in the playoffs) where I *need* them. I only own 2 navy shirts (plate/base) and 2 navy hats (4-stitch and 6-stitch -- I used to wear an 8-stitch with everything till I got the low profile mask and finally embraced FlexFit after getting 5 hats all sized differently from Honig's).

I've been wearing black bags with everything for a few years now. It's nice not having to have anything else -- I even carry 4 bags with me in case I have a dirty pair so I can use the other pair.
