Well, there always seems to be an elephant in the room when the discussion of the Nike masks that many of the pro catchers, such as Jorge Posada, are wearing, due to their Nike sponsorships. I have contacted Nike, and all I get is the runaround and everybody acts like they've never heard of them, and it's like one of those government conspiricy theories. They are as tight-lipped about the subject as the Area 51 deniers. One guy I emailed sent me links to the Nike Pro Gold helmets, which is not what I had specified in my email. One guy from customer service told me to apply for sponsorship, and gave me a link for some charity thing, not what I was looking for at all.
I want to know why Nike doesn't want these masks in the hands of the public. They would make a ton of jack, and they would still be sweet masks. All the gear junkie umpires would buy at least one.
Any of you "in the loop" guys out there know the real story here?
