Well,
I will make the following observation:
I think some of you don't understand the amount of work that goes in to being creative.
Scott found that many, many umpires did not like the fit and pattern on shirts that are available. Scott had the guts to take on the topic, design and produce samples of a new style shirt.
It really doesn't matter if Scott had one or 10 people look at the samples and give their feelings -- at least he had the guts to try to fix something that many people have complained about.
As a "gear whore" I look at the shirt and understand the design. It really doesn't matter if I like it or not . . .
What does matter that Scott at least "tried" to correct something that he felt needed "fixin'" --
It isn't really important if some of you "like" the shirt or not. As a professional abstract expressionist I recognize that not every one likes my work (shoot, look at PWL's review of my column writing ability as stated in another thread) but I have found that there is still a market for what I do.
We can also see that a "model" can also affect how we view a new product.
Congratulations to Scott for having the drive to produce a new product. In a capitalistic system we will find if there is a market for his product.
Tee
