are you talking about the new pullovers with the delta blue/white stripes over the shoulders? if so, good luck finding one. they are nowhere.

The base umpires did not have on the pullover jackets. They had on "plate coats". Its been a while since I've seen them on the bases.

I will wear mine on the bases when it's cold enough. Last Saturday qualified -- it was 35 degrees on the field with a pretty gusty wind.
Of course, on those days you put on anything that you think will help. UnderArmour, Jacket, sweatshirts, plate coat, kitchen sink....
Back in the day umpires probably had different sportcoats for base work and plate work. I doubt that's the case now -- these are just plate coats worn for warmth with layers underneath.
