Take a black shirt and lay it flat on the ground on a hot day and place a thermometer inside. Leave it for 30 minutes and read the temp. Let the thermometer cool to the same temp it was before you put in in the shirt and then do the same experiment with a white shirt.

It just isn't enough of a difference to matter to me. I absolutely despise powder blue and don't carry it, much to the chagrin of some of my partners.

I have powder blue and cream and would rather work with partners on hot days who have one or the other or both. I worked a DH yesterday beginning at 1:00 and used cream for 1st game, and poweder blue for 2nd game. Game time weather was 92 degrees and sunny.
My partner had the plate for 1st game and I had plate for 2nd game. I must have drank a gallon of water during the 2nd game, but still went home to weigh 5 pounds less than before I left home.
I was watching a Saturday afternoon game a couple weeks ago on TV, where umps had on black. It was 90 degrees here, but game was in Boston. I looked up the weather in Boston on weather.com and it was 65 degrees. I thought, "oh".
