We had black shirts for our team and I thought it looked really spiffy and professional and you couldn't really tell when they were dirty (a big plus for those boys working in the pits all day). Personally, I liked them. Granted, we didn't go to Florida where heat would have been an issue.

But being on the committee that did t-shirts, here are arguments that we heard against black shirts that you could tell your team.
1. As you said before, heat! (won't work if you're from a cool state or you only competed in winter months like us)
2. Black shirts will fade after many washings and will make your srhits look old.
3. Lots of teams have black shirts and it was hard to find my teammmates sometimes cuz our shirts didn't stick out.
4. You're limited with what colors to silkscreen on your shirt. Unless you do a lot of white, yellow, or bright red, it won't really pop out.
5. White shirts are cheaper than white shirts (though I personally don't like white, too bland and gets dirty easily.)
6. This sounds hilarious and mean at the same time but we really did have to take this into consideration: someone on our team, not mentioning any names, had bad dandruff and it showed with the black t-shirts.
