popa: The OP has Gedolim (i.e, Satmar Rebbe, Chacham Ovadia Yosef, et al) to rely on to make his statement.
Depends what his statement is.
If the statement is that some gedolim have said not to wear them, then yes.
If the statement is that it is more tzanua not to wear them, then yes.
If the statement is that it is not proper to wear them, then no. Most of our gedolim have permitted them. (That is litvaks)
