That said, whenever an association (or NCAA coordinator) "want" you to buy from a specific supplier, you can bet they are getting a kickback (commission).

ASA & Fechheimer, anyone?

OK, I realize they have a legitimate issue with the look of the official uniform at their national events. I even agree with that.

But, they could specify style (e.g. their love affair with western cut non-functional pockets - maybe we should also use the cowboy thumb hook stance, too), and color (use an official color chart definition of "heather gray" if they must), and allow suppliers to provide uniforms that meet the requirements.

The color part of it is a joke, though, since heather gray only remains the "same" color for a day or so in the sun.
