The Chofetz Chaim branch in Brooklyn is called Yeshiva Tiferes Yisroel. The change to white shirts was only after long discussions within the hanhallah of the yeshiva as there was a huge disagreement. They went to the Rosh Hayeshiva, Rabbi Dovis Harris who decided that they may change to white shirts only for 8th grade and above. One of the considerations was that enrollment might suffer if they didn’t change to the white shirt only as most of the other mesivtas (in Brooklyn) already have that policy.
