they shouldnt be if you wear navy shirts

we can debate all we want about ball bags...but im pretty sure there is no debate that wearing black hats with a navy shirt is incorrect. your UIC should order the right color hats.

Yes, I thought that was a bit of a paradox also, although, like I said, I haven't given ball bag color a thought until this thread. And the games I do in cream are excellent summer league games with players home from college, in the heat of the summer. There is no association, they call, I go because it pays well and the play is excellent and the cream shirt helps with the heat index. The planet comment is just stupid.

black or cream is not permitted according to dress code. Navy or Light Blue

But wristbands are ??

[Justme]

I’ve never seen so much discussion on shirt/cap color or whether wearing wrist bands make you a bad umpire. But since I have some time on my hands and I like to hear myself talk I’ll have a go at it.

I think that if you work for an association that allows you to dress like a clown then you should feel no pressure not to do so. I’ve never seen an umpire wear wrist bands but I have seen one wear a small soccer style shin guards on his arms to protect them from foul balls or missed pitches. I’ve not seen one wear a black cap/black ball bag with navy or light blue shirts but what the heck, there’s a first time for everything.

Here’s what I wear (I’m sure you all care ).

Navy blue shirt - red Mock Neck under - navy blue or grey bag - navy blue cap

Light Blue shirt (Red/white/blue stripes) - navy blue Mock Neck under – navy blue bag – navy Blue cap.

Light Blue shirt (navy stripes) - navy blue Mock Neck under – navy blue bag – navy Blue cap.

Red shirt - navy blue Mock Neck under – navy blue bag – navy Blue cap

Cream shirt (black stripes) - black Mock Neck under – black bag – black cap

Black shirt (white stripes) - white Mock Neck under – black bag – black cap

Grey plate pants when I’m working the plate & grey base pants when I’m on bases (no combos)

Highly shined shoes (sometimes the patent leather ones)

Shined belt (sometimes the patent leather one)

Compression pants

For cold days, very few of those here, I wear either a plate pullover or regular pullover.

Black socks only

A cup (even on bases) and the proper plate equipment (obviously only when working the plate)

Wow, that was fun

No.

More importantly, who are these people:



And who is roscopcoltrane01?

And what is your fascination with police cars and uniforms?

What do you mean? Your post was going along so well, then you had to call my comment stupid. It is not stupid, just because you say it is. What is stupid is leaving a statement like this to stand by itself without explanation, as if its very existence equaled proof of its validity.

Stupid is as stupid does. Setting yourself up as a planet spokeserson is...

DG:

Other than LLDan do you know of any decent umpire on this planet that would purposely wear navy ball bags with a cream colored shirt?

Again, saying my comment was stupid doesn't make it stupid. I didn't call you stupid in my post. I just wondered why (on earth?) you would wear navy ball bags with a cream shirt, which is bordered with black trim. You are the one dropping the "S" bomb, which I don't fuggin appreciate, Bud.

Tim.

I am in one of those "old time" associations that still only allows navy. Some members were discussing an alternate shirt, and they brought up Cream. I made a stink because I told them we should not wear our normal blue hats with the Cream because of the black trim. I would never even considering wearing such a uniform.

Annoymous, I belong to a Dukes of Hazzard fan club. and we make fun of each other there and such. I dont remember what that was from.

[TussAgee11]

Most painful 7 page thread ever, outside of some good posts about Evans and talk about ball bag colors with different shirts. I guess I just kept getting upset reading on and on because every 3rd post made me want to drive my car off a cliff.
