Heather gray might win out, but by that time I wonder if the charcoal grays won't be creeping into softball.

I understand the charcoal gray is now OK for school baseball here in Pa, and I'm hoping that goes over to softball. I'd prefer the darker gray over the heather gray - I think. I'm one of those who sweat - a lot. On a hot day, I'm soaked no matter what color pants I'm wearing. I prefer the darker colored navy because they do not show the wet.
As far as college ball goes, one of the groups I'm in seems to prefer the gray pants. The other almost insists on the navy.
As for PONY telling folks in NY to wear gray, that's local. According to their rule book, the standard uniform is navy pants & powder shirt - or so I think I read in the 2007 book. Although, most of the PONY ball I've done has been with gray pants.
I guess some folks like to look like high school umpires.
