Posted by Stephen Parkhurst I have not seen the shirt and I am guessing LB has not either. I personally would not tell you that your shirt was legal or illeagal having not seen the shirt myself, and I am sure LB feels the same. I would not want you to go to Calgary with that shirt and have the GPC tell you it was not legal after being told it was based on a few lines describing it. I agree with LB refreshening the rule to you so that YOU can determine if it its legal or not. If you have to ask if it is legal, it most likely is not. The GPC World Championships is a very strict contest and very particular that the rules are followed both for lifting and equipment. I would suggest that you have a backup shirt which is without question legal so if you are told your shirt in question is not, you are not left without a legal shirt. Stephen Parkhurst

I am not sure this is a legal shirt. According to the rule, the neck must the manufacturers true and original collar and not excessively loose or wide collar. You stated yourself the collar was reinforced and scooped. I am not sure what you mean by scooped but that would indicate the collar was intentially made extra large and therefor may not be considered legal. The collar being reinforced indicates it is not original.
