And don't tell anybody, but the last time I had to purchase some navy blue slacks, I bought them from the world's largest retailer. No pleats AND stain resistance for $17...and yes, the legs fit right over the shin guards with no problemo.
Prefer the Western cut (pockets) and it is often recommended at clinics as they will not "ear out" when the umpire goes to a set position. ASA does not take a stance on pleated pants, though they do not look as good on some people as they do on others regardless of the color.
