MLB Uniform

[EMBUAump]

That's a lot of delta blue.

Judging from what the umpires are actually wearing, I'd guess someone mis-informed you. Even disregarding the difference of opinion on the shade of grey of the new pants, there is no "navy" shirt to be found.

Since they no longer supply the uniforms, they may not have the most accurate information. (But the still have the best service.)

I've tried looking through past posts and don't think I'm repeating old information. I was browsing the internet today and found the Powder/Black MLB shirts for sale at Lester's Upstate Sports in NY. Here's the link to the shirt.

Has anyone purchased one or plan on doing so in the future?

The blue is the old "powder" in these shirts, not the same as in the MLU shirts.

The ML umps are wearing a powder blue (or delta blue if you want to call it that), with black and white trim. The powder blue shirt I have has navy and white trim, which I think is what NCAA uses. I also have the traditional navy and a cream. My HS association only uses the navy, but they are generally finished by early June and generally play in late afternoon or at night. For summer leagues in broad daylight I prefer the powder blue or cream. When it is 90+ heat is relative, but powder blue or cream are better than navy.

I saw a ML game a week or two in broad daylight and the umps had on black. It was 90 degrees here, but the game was in Boston. I went online to get weather in Boston and it was 65 degrees. I can understand black shirts in 65 degree weather. Much warmer than that, and I don't understand black shirts.

i have seen where the umps in a major league game have worn the navy blue shirts during and afternoon game of a double header where the temps were above eighty, and the powder blue for the night game. go figure
