If that is the only shirt the body has, go a head and pass the sacrament.
When I worked with the Deacons we Emphasized wearing a white shirt, but realize in the end each boy can do his own thing. Some probably learned (From this lesson) that a white shirt is important when Operating in the priesthood, others might have missed that lesson.

Serving in an Elders Quorum presidency in a singles ward (With some 90% return missionaries) we Elders would be the one that have to pass the sacrament(No deacons in the ward). It amazed me even at that age how these men hadn't learned the idea of passing the sacrament with a white shirt, even to the point that they knew they could get out of passing the sacrament because they used there white shirt as an excuse. I didn't want them to use there shirt as an excuse. The first bishop we had Elders pass the sacrament in any colored of shirt. The second bishop felt we should get those with white shirts to pass it.
Each ward is different, each bishop is different, each deacon/Elder is different. The lesson learned I think is valuable. But I agree I don't think that should STOP anybody for using the priesthood, some people learn the lesson better then others.

Read the church handbook of instructions. It says that it's recommendable, but not necessary. As longs as conditions allow, all priesthood bearers should dress according to church standards, which normally include a white shirt and tie. However, if a young man's family doesn't have enough money to buy a new white shirt, he should be able to use a t-shirt to pass the sacrament if that's the best he has. I see this too many times, bishops and stake presidents that don't allow youth to pass the sacrament because he doesn't have a white shirt nor tie. That is completely ABSURD!

Name: Ronan

Comments: White shirts are not required but are highly recommended in countries that use the white shirt as a dress shirt. Really it should be the best you have available as pertaining to your culture. But should be as close to white as possible. Just like the person passing it. He should be as clean ass possible both inside and out.
