It's hard to see the shuttle coming off a white shirt.

i find it quite nice
maintains a nice decor of the game and makes it look neat and uniform
but then i also see that it can pose a problem for lots of beginners who dont' usually own white sports shirts... etc etc
i had to buy new stuff when i got on the school team... hahaha

Now I wonder if they would ask Gong Ruina to wear white top only when she come for the exhibition games.

she didn't even wear white on monday for the camps...
i saw her wearing pinkish colour
but she is freakin tall for a chinese woman
taller than ellen chen of mandarin
prob as tall as kokkee

that sucks so u cant wear shorts that r any other colour than white? and do u have to be a member to buy from the pro-shop??

non-members can buy from the pro shop, i believe. or at least, i used to buy from their shop when i wasn't a member. i'm pretty sure it's allowed, since it'd be good for their business.

I don't have a membership anywhere but I went to Mandarin twice and got rejected twice. First time they demanded my friends and I had a white shirt. Left to go to Lee's. Second time (a year later) we wore white shirts but they demanded we had somebody with membership. Left to go to Lee's again.

If you ask me, the white shirt thing is not necessary. Maybe the only rule about apparel I'd understand is that you have sleeves. Badminton is a gentlemen's sport after all.

Speaking of 'gentleman's sport', lol, i saw some guy playing wearing a hotpink shirt (like reeally hot pink) the other day at that new Flying place, so he stood out just a bit...

I'll never be as brave as that dude

Sorry if I'm gonna pay membership. I think I'm entitle to wear any colour shirt. This is no the Boulevard Club or Yacht Club. Been to other clubs and they have no issues.
