They were out of black.
I had been thinking Royale Blue, but decided that that was more of a fashion statement than I really wanted to make.
The guy talked me into the new Navy. He convinced me that they were becoming a popular item and not just another color.
First time I wore it, my partner thought it was black.
( The color made me smile every 1/2 inning.  )
It's my first single-bar, and with the Gerry Davis stance, seeing the plate is like looking through a big ol' picture window.

I have been using the single bar for several years now and love the view, and the lack of weight. I have a black frame with doeskin pads. I recently bought a Honigs closeout single bar frame in red, with a black harness. I had a spare set of doeskin pads and it looks sharp to me. I use it with the standard blue shirt with red trim, but use my black mask when wearing the powder blue or cream shirt since there is no red in either.
The K91 will bend though if you take a shot off the face of a really hard thrower, but even it does it will still last a long time bent. My black one is about a half inch off center near the chin where I took one this year in a Senior Babe Ruth game.
