Just curious as to what your crews will be wearing.
-
If they are as comfortable as everyone tells me they are we will be full time Black pants.
-
We will be full time black pants, at least if we get some light weight ones. The heavier cloth might be a little hot. Also if we are not on turf and it is real muddy, we may wear the old mudder knickers. Although the pants are black that white stripe would be a mud magnet.

I am hoping that my crew decides to go with Black pants. Looking forward tot the change.

KOPI. Knickers out, pants in.

Just wanted to let you know that I voted, but am not from Texas, so I am fudging your results.
We will not be having black pants in Germany for a number of years.

Full time black pants for my crew.

I spoke with the guys at Honigs-Texas this week. The light weight version Black pants will be available in June.

Didn't want to start a new thread on this, but what are the odds Texas HS goes with the 2" stripe in the foreseeable future? The wide stripe looks a LOT better with black pants, and I think the black pants are here to stay and will replace knickers within a couple of years.
-
I was told that the 2" striped shirts will NOT be used in high school games.
-
I'm speaking in terms of 3-5 years. 2 different equipment suppliers told me in 2006 and 2007 there was "no way" black pants would ever make their way down to the HS level.
-
I think the way things are going here in Texas, we're not even sure what the next 3-5 months have in store.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them showing up at the high school level, somewhere in the country, in the next few years.

Me too!

I severely dislike the black pants. They look sloppy and too much like jogging pants. Not "official" to me.

Which brand did you get? There's a huge difference in the look and feel in the different brands, and a small difference in price. I tried on every pair at the Texas State Meeting and the Cliff Keen seemed far superior to the others in look and feel.

Our whole chapter will be wearing them. No knickers at all. We have also voted to wear black shorts for sub-varsity.

Well here's one White Hat that will not be buying them for his crew. I'm so dang tight that I don't even want to buy them for myself. But we all agreed to purchase them as a crew. As far as wearing the things, it's going to be contingent on the existing weather conditions. Trust me; no one in their right mind is exactly going to be wanting to don those things for, say, a 2PM kickoff on Field Play on a clear, sunny, Week 2 Saturday afternoon. Those things may well be fashionable and they may be trendy, but I think we will just choose to err on the side of comfort instead of trying to emulate what the Boys of Sunday might be wearing. Let's just let the weather conditions dictate making this call! z^

Jason - what are the Chapter assigned Chain crews wearing?

We don't have chapter assigned chain crews. Schools provide their own.
And for arbitrator: I was one of the die hard knicker fans. Not sure what the weather is like there but up in these parts we just surpassed 42 straight days above 100 (most days are above 110). All that with no measurable rain. With that said, I tried both the knickers and the black pants to see which one was cooler. By far it was the black pants. The knickers felt drastically hotter. The black pants let the air flow thru and I had to make sure I even had anything on.
-
As a total aside, our province (up here in the not quite white north of Canada) voted to go with black pants for for all weather conditions, for all levels of ball up to college. The college officials will still have to wear white (blagh) unless it's inclement weather.

Thnaks Jason.
Are there any Chapters out there that have made a decision about this?

I'll back up Jason: the black pants are going to be marginally cooler due to the air flow. The "black is hotter" nonsense needs to end. Black absorbs more LIGHT, not necessarily more HEAT. Material and other factors are more important in temp feel.
In fact, I wear a bandana product called a Buff. They've got a UV (protection) black one that I will probably wear at some scrimmages under my hat. I want to weat it down to keep cool. I wear other dark colors on my morning run and they work great.
