That is why I suggested using a stiff garment brush between games

I suggest Navy first then get a Black if you wish. It depends a lot on your association, too. If you do FED games here in CT, we have to stay on the Navy side per the State Board.

Your partner(s) can wear anything they want. The color of the plate coat has no bearing. I only own a Navy coat and many times (after FED season) my partners wear black or cream on the bases.
Now Tim C. will chime in and tell you that a Black coat would be better in that situation and he would be absolutely right. I just am not investing in another coat any more!
