Anyway the CK is the shirt of choice around here, so the Lt. Blue, or Polo Blue, or whatever is just great. I have even had to work 3 man with one guy with Lt. Blue w/Navy and White trim, and one with Red/White/Blue so-called "collegiate" trim. I say "so-called" because I just saw the MLB Polo Blue in the Super Regionals.

Please tell me you don't compare colors in a printed catalog! Egads!!! If you think I'm joking, take a look at the GD pants in the GD catalog. Do you really think they look that way, with that eerie sort of olive hue, in real life? They don't. Pictures on the Internet and on printed catalog stock don't always illustrate an accurate representation.

I based my statement above after seeing a guy with the GD polo blue and putting it next to one of my Honig's polo blues. There IS a difference.

Okay, there's a difference. So? I like the Cliff Keen and you like the Honig's. The Cliff Keen match up splendidly with the MLB umpires I see on HDTV, so what the hell is the problem? You make it sound like the difference is critical, and it is not. How else was I supposed to compare my paid for shirts to shirts neither I, nor anyone I know owns?

Methinks thou art using Old English. Art thou Cyrano DeBergerac? Perchance a musketeer? Gadzuks and zounds!

Methinks thou dost protest too much. I'm not saying the CK ones are terrible or unacceptable. If Davis had come out with these shirts the same time Honig's did, we might have gone with them, but because Honig's had them first--two years earlier--our association went with them and decided to stick with them. We didn't want to mix two different shirts, even if the difference was a slightly different shade of color and slightly different trim.

And comparing stuff to HDTV images now? Tsk, tsk.
