The only problem with having only three colors is what if a team wears blue and the other team wears this? I think no matter what they'll eventually move to 5. NCAA listens to their coaches, not the referees. And coaches will not like even yellow being on the field with this. Edit: or this, and the opposite team wearing orange.
I've heard they'll slowly release the other colors. Just these colors for now... but I don't recall where I heard or read that...
Teams have multiple kits for a reason. Make the home team change or wear whatever conflicts the least with the visitors. If the home team keeps passing you the ball then maybe they should’ve found their secondary kit.
For those wondering, I just got an e-mail that my new NISOA jerseys will be arriving later this week.
I got them in last Sunday, they are much much better that what we currently have. Even the pockets don't look too bad.
@tomek75 when did you place your order? I placed mine in May and still haven't received any notification.
Just as another data point, I purchased in May and received mine last week, I also got 2 pairs of socks and another pair of shorts.
I just called them, they are supposedly filling them in the order they received the orders - I placed my order on the last day eligible for free shipping (May 31) and she said they have not made it to that date yet, should be (no promises) in the next 2 weeks.
Got my NISOA uniforms last week. They look great. And you just couldn't beat that price on the pre-order.
Just found out our section of NY is indefinitely not going to the new shirts. As this is my first year doing schools, I just ordered two old styles (knowing full well that I will have to buy the other ones in the near future.
How does that even work? Are they just going to use hand me down until the end of time? Do they think OSI is going to just keep churning out the old style just for them?
I think ultimately they will introduce them next season when there is assured stock on hand. Right now at the OSI sight, only the yellow is available to back order while the other two colors are not available. Games start in 3 weeks.
They have said 'indefinitely.' I'm just making a reasonable (in my mind) assumption on how to roll it out that gives everyone time and assures stock is available for the refs like me that take the class in the summer and have nothing as far as the uniform goes.
I applaud your hopeful optimism that an organization would put that much thought into things like this.
