Does anybody have a favorite place to get their umpires uniform/gear? I was instructed by one of our best officials in my area to check out honigs.com. They have a pretty good selection. Anybody have any other outlets they would like to share?

Question - Do you umpire HS ball?

If you umpire HS ball, normally there is a Prerequiste for the uniform. Example;

Here in NY we MUST wear the Navy Blue Kliff Kein Shirts with the N.Y. State LOGO on them. In addition, the Navy Blue Jacket again with the NY state LOGO on them.

For HS uniforms I order from a local supplier because the NY state patch plus the American Flag are supplied for you.

For the "other stuff" like Chest Protectors, Shin Guards etc. I order from Gerry Davis Sports because they deliver ON time and I never had a problem with them. I do order from Honigs as well and yes they are good as well.

Summary: If you umpire HS ball check with your HS association for uniforms. The HS association orders for the ENTIRE umpire group so that you get a break on the cost.
