I just counted up my hats. I have about 10 of each hat (white and black -- I wear white on Fridays and black on Saturdays) that are game quality. At least 5-6 of each have never been worn (I blindly ordered some this season and didn't really need to). I have a couple of each hat I would wear in rain/mudders, too.
Thank goodness for black pants. You would probably laugh at how many pairs of Northwestern stripe socks I used to go through in a season.
I used to have an umpire whose knickers could best be described as brown. He once showed up at a game with his belt and flags still in his pockets from the previous Friday. It was that night that I decided to fire him from the crew at the end of the season.
