current uniforms
Just when I thought women had gone to long pants, I see team USA is wearing shorts.

Dont know if it's regional and Not that it matters, but I can't remember working a game in the last couple of years where the uniforms were shorts.

Thought I read somewhere international softball requires them to wear shorts.

I couldn't get past the four-man crew that had pink shirts, the same color as the US team's uniforms.

I apologize if I hurt someone's feelings, BUT, I feel it is time to end this pink thing. You can see where this could all end up when other causes push for their color(s).

Back to the OP, there are a few teams here that still wear shorts. There is one team that I have seen that has both, and will switch to shorts in hot conditions.

No, sir. I'm right with you especially when it comes to "uniforms".

Once or twice was nice, but enough is enough.

I've been talking to umpire uniform suppliers about an opportunity to really increase their shirt sales...

Actually, the "pink thing" has been around for quite some time now. MLB has been doing it on Mother's Day the last few years. If other causes haven't been screaming for it by now, they must feel it's not worth the effort.
