Shirts

[TXMike]

Apparently some fellas wanted a new design of shirt for Texas HS football. If you were one of them ,  what are the benefits?

[DallasStripes]

Put me solidly in the "meh... I don't care" camp.  I do think the 2" stripe look is cleaner.

I'm not sure how the NCAA decided they want a monopoly on the basic 2" stripe look without any other shading, but I guess they can do that.

[rickref]

I agree I do not care either way as well but it is a cleaner look with black pants.

I wrote in camouflage shirt with camouflage pants.

I would like some dryfit material to wear as a shirt.

[mishatx]

Change for change sake.  Just leave it alone.

[DallasStripes]

Can anyone post a screen shot of the proposed shirts from the survey?  I already took it and it won't let me back in.

Here's what Alabama is going to (optional this year, required next year):

The patch is dyed into the shirt material.

It is a lot like Alabama's high school shirts, I like it, and being from Texas I enjoy being different

[Joe Stack]

Coby, most everyone has a lightweight poly shirt that works like the various big companies' "dry___" shirts. Smitty is the one I buy. I haven't worn a doubleknit poly ref shirt in either football or basketball in well over a decade.

[Etref]

I voted but do not really care either way. The new design does look good.

I could live with these, it'd be complementary to the black pants. I don't really care for the TASO patch on the chest but I like the Texas flag on the sleeve.

The price is the part that hurts. Yikes.

I like the style...... but after buying two new shirts this year, new shorts for sub-varsity, etc.... I'm ready to take a TASO uniform break. 

[Wingmanbp]

I like the new design as well and as far as having to buy a new shirt I do every year anyway. I buy a varsity shirt and hat every year and pass down the last years shirt for sub varsity. They start to look faded after on season. especially this year after all the muddy games.

[Welpe]

One more thing I'll add. If we go to these, can we ditch the placards? After wearing one this season, I really don't think there's a redeeming quality to those.

[TXMike]

Are you kidding? ?  The placards made guys college officials. Definitely improved their performance.  Just like these shirts will make them look like NFL guys.  We are gonna be GREAT !!!!      

[Wingmanbp]

Placards help the fans know who to complain to when the game is over!

[copedaddy]

sounds like many who complained when we went to pants. Now everyone loves them. Just give them a try and remember that change can be good.

[TXMike]

Huge difference.  The pants change was more than just a different "look".  The pants permit the "full figured fella" to move much more easily.   What actual physical benefit does a different shirt design provide?

[Wingmanbp]

Since the stripes are wider then it makes for a thinning look! Therefore you feel better!

[psv]

No, no, no, a thousand times no...

We just bought sublimated shirts with placards and need to get the ROI out of them 

[mishatx]

No, this is more like the change to put a white stripe on subvarsity shorts.

This, too.

[blindref757]

I voted no.  I don't like placards either...in HS games, there are too many vacancies on crews and that creates a headache that isn't needed. 

No need to change the shirts.  What we have works fine.

Placket not placard

[TXMike]

I think I will stick with placard
