umpire shirts

[ggk]

i'm looking to buy some new shirts. i've stuck with cliff keen so far. any thoughts on other brands? honigs, pos?? pros and cons?? thanks.

CK is probably the highest quality shirt, although the new Smitty shirts are just as good I've seen. POS shirts are usually much thinner than CKs and are great for hot days; Honigs is somewhere in between, but I've never been crazy about the big Honigs logo on the back of the shirt....

Go with the CK.

I have CK, Logo Authentic, and Honig's.

Logo Authentic was the best, but not available any longer.

CK is as good a shirt as you will ever need.

Honig's shirts run small by one size, are much thinner, and are not as durable as the other two brands.

This is just my opinion........(I own and have worn all of these)

Cliff Keen....excellent shirt, thicker material holds up well...

+POS....very Light, excellent for hot summer days, does run small....

Honigs....Great shirts, lousy collars......tend to pill and roll very quickly, But with that said, my Honigs long sleeve is my favorite early season/fall ball shirt

Logo Athletic... all in all, my all time favorite shirt, good cut, fit. shame its not available anymore..

as an aside, if you get all these shirts outside in the sun, you will find all are different shades of navy.....

Logo athletic used to make awesome clothes (not just umpiring). i don't know why they went out of business

probably the rise of Majestic and Majestic getting the MLB Authentic deal.
