So just wondering what is your favorite color and will you ever reserve it for a championship game in a tournament if there are no uniform requirements?

Until you kick a call then they notice and will comment on everything down to the wrinkles in your socks.

put a flag patch on your left sleeve and you honor them every game. Plant a memorial tree. Visit a patient at your local VA hospital. Volunteer at the VFW. Do something that amounts to something. Give

Too literally? My comrades in arms have fought and died for the freedoms we enjoy. The flag is a living thing. The blood of my brothers paints the stripes red. I honor their memory during every Nation

I like black for night games.

Daytime anything light. I hate Navy and powder blue.

Black, of course.

Pink, because of it's message.

+POS made a silver, with black trim, that was slick. Light enough to be cool, but dark enough to not allow your c/p to show through.

All the light blues look awful to me. I wouldn't wear that color with a charcoal suit. It just doesn't work. Although the coolest, temperature wise, shirt I have in my closet is an old Elbeco. Coupled with a modern wicking undershirt, the full button front really makes a difference in letting the air in.

I like the OC maroon shirt (that isn't made any more), that had the white trim on it.

I don't think cream looks good with charcoal pants, either. Better than light blue, though.

If someone came out with grass green colored shirt, so we'd blend in with the field, that might work. (Let me cut off the dirt brown suggestion right now. Brown and charcoal just don't go).

A digital camoflauge shirt would be popular. The curent OC camo is awful, and would end up on the Clearance rack at any Bass Pro shop. Even the French army wouldn't wear that style.

Black is the default color in this area , for daytime i like pro blue or creme . when i work solo in this order white , grey or red depending on what color the teams are . Btw does anyone consider the team colors , when selecting their color for the game ? I need to get a pink next time on sale from OC .

Powder blue and navy (old school) are seldom worn around my area .

In order my preferences are: Black, Polo and Cream. Red and pink are tied somewhere near the very bottom below that ugly chocolate brown color OC has.

If theres no uniform requirements as stated then I prefer shorts and a grey t-shirt but theres always some sort of uniform requirements. lol.

Polo blue looks good to me as does black. I dont really like the others but of all the things to worry about I put this lower than last on the list.

We use navy polo over red T shirt for weeknight and evening games. Powder blue polo over navy t shirts for day games on Saturday. We don't play Sunday here much. Sundays only if rain games have to be made up and then after 2:00PM.

A red requirement seems rather unique.

It wasn't an association requirement my partner said its his favorite color and he always wears it for championship games.

FHSAA has decided to switch default colors from Navy and Powder Blue to Black and powder blue for the 2013 season.

We don't have requirements, but I personnally like to reserve black for championship games. Colors in order of preference are Black, Grey, White. Powder, Red, Cream, Navy and Pink are pool and bracket shirts. I will NOT wear an American Flag shirt. No way, no how. I would do digital camo if everyone else had it.

Some folks just don't dig red..... It tends to be a love it or hate it color. As for the flag, well it's illegal in the US

United States Code Title 4 Chapter 1 — The Flag

Section 8

(D) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.

(J) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.

Flag etiquette, obscure stuff most people didn't even know existed......
