Sorry, she's a little slow sometimes :)

She just wants you to be jealous that we got crew shirts :D

If it was my choice, I'd go with blue, green, NEON YELLOW, or black.

I have a neon shirt laying around and whenever I wear that people can spot me out a mile away (it is fun)

The black shirts were not as bad as i thought they would be in Florida last year. I was on crew in Florida and the black "CREW" shirts were pretty hot but not unbearable. My team (330), however decided to use mainly white shirts due to the excessive heat.

Even if you were in a completely white shirt in Florida, you would still be hot. It is extremely how and the heat will give you heat exhaustion pretty quickly no matter what you wear. The important thing is to stay out of the sun as much as possible (Thankfully most of the fields are indoors.) and drink a lot of water. (Those pesky mentors forcing you to drink enormous amounts of water are actually doing a good thing. Tts better to drink water than have EMS end up giving you an IV due to dehydration.) But overall i think the black shirts were hotter, or at least felt like it. But in the hot Florida sun pretty much anything gets hot quickly.

fact: Florida is hot no matter what color shirt you wear
fact: people like getting wet when they are hot
fact: white shirts become indecent when wet

i really didn't care what color shirt my team wore last year, long as it wasn't white. Guess what they picked.

In 2001, our team made the mistake of having our team shirt be long-sleeved and black... Boy am I glad I wasn't in the group who went to Nationals...

Wait a second... :(

Our team got denim shirts as our saturday shirt back in 2001....they were really nice, but it was almost unbearable...those things got really warm...

Doesnt matter the color, just make sure the shirts are cotton...

Ah yes black T-Shirts. Very Cool for NYC and UTC New Haven Last year, not so good in Fla. Way to hot. lol

Anyways, this really sucks, I have an idea for shirts this year for our team but I have been pricing these types of shirts and they cost like $35.00 each to make them, and that is the bulk rate.
Not Good!!!!!

Arghhh, maybe I'll just have one made @ 50.00 for myself and then see what everyone thinks. Oh yeah!

I wonder if cotton pants would be good lol.

... the fabric of our lives.

Quote from George of the Jungle:
"Im chafing Max, im chafing."
"You moron i told you to always wear cotton in the jungle. Cotton breathes."

I also agree with the Flordia thing. I went to Disney World in March 2 years ago and it was at least 95+ every day. Boy was i sweaty.

Please no wet T-shirt contests either. We are sophisticated people here... or are we?

Only till we go near water when we're sweating our butts off. :D

Black in Florida's really not that hot. Besides, I don't know what everyone's complaining about. The last few years have been nice and cool compared to how hot it is in South Florida at the time (although South Florida is normally a bit cooler then the Orlando area). The real heat in Florida comes from the humidity anyway. I'd worry more about the fabric then the color. Get something like polyester and you'll feel hot and sticky all day long. If you pick something comfortable and light like cotton or maybe that weird porous jersey material (no idea what it is). But this advice is coming from someone who wears pants and long sleeved shirts in the Florida heat with no discomfort, so maybe the heat's just melted my brain.

Hehe. I have no complaints about wet t-shirt contests :P

Anyways...Black shirts aren't all that bad. I think half of the heat is in your head. People just 'know' that black stuff is WAY hotter than white. There is a difference...but probably not as much as people make it. You can always try to buy a light-weight shirt. I think Hanes makes thin ones, but I'm not totally sure. I know I wore an undershirt, thick t-shirt, and a gray dickies workshirt, I wasn't all that uncomfortable.

It could be that Nike Dri-Fit or Cool-max fibers devloped by Dupont. (they seem to make everything cool: Teflon, Kevlar, Cool-Max...)
