Head Matter:
David Wayne HAMMACK, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 91-2212.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
June 24, 1992.
Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Paul E. Petillo, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Melynda L. Melear, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Reversed and remanded for a new trial on the authority of Turner v. State, 376 So.2d 429 (Fla. 1st DCA1979) and Lawson v. State, 251 So.2d 683 (Fla. 3d DCA1971). We also agree with appellant that it was error for the trial court to first suggest, and thereafter, permit, the state's police witnesses to wear shirts with the word "POLICE" printed thereon, after granting a motion to suppress the state's use of such a shirt as evidence.
ANSTEAD, WARNER and FARMER, JJ., concur.
