Carrot: I looked at a large Majestic umpire jersey hanging in my closet. The stitching appeared solid with no loose ends. The fabric's color was more MLB blue than navy blue, but it wasn't faded or pre-washed or pre-shrunk. The fabric had elasticity to allow the CP, without going one size larger. That carrot alone was worth the price I paid for it. The OP didn't rate this valuable feature. I have no clue how the shirts you saw even resemble mine.

Stick: The Dalco Athletic mesh shirts are so cheap on sale that I can afford to buy 2, 1 for BU and 1 for PU duties. The dark navy color, polyester durability and mesh material is worth a few U.S. dollars. A hot summer breeze evaporatively cools my upper torso, without the need for more expensive Chinese-made brand names that "wick-away" my shoe money. The OP didn't mention which brands often go on sale and which brands never go on sale.
