OK, Dale Scott.

If you work summer ball then that can vary. First of all it really depends on who you work for and what are the requirements. My association (assignor and leagues I work for) allows us to wear cream, light blue (with the black collar), black and even red. Of course the nave blue is the default color, but during the summer most people want to wear the other colors. You will also find that many umpires that have experience with college ball in this state try their best not to wear the navy blue. The bottom line check with who will assign you games and buy what is recommended. If you can afford it, buy the colors I just mentioned (I would not buy the red unless it is common where you live). Baseball is the most expensive sport of all so you do not want to just throw money away at equipment you will not use.

I heard something about a new jacket standard with the IHSA logo on it instead of the navy with R/W/B trim. Do you know anything about it?

I have no idea what you are talking about. This is probably just a rumor.

It's scheduled to go into effect right after I place my next jacket order.

And if it's manufactured by +POS, it'll be on back order for no less than 6 months, then take an additional 6 months to receive, and when you do get it, it'll be the wrong one.

Right on with +pos "customer service"
I use to order only from them and have it in a few days. I ordered pants in January and will not get them until July 4th or the week around there. It's unfortunate.

I used to work with a REALLY big guy. Every time he wore red, it reminded me of the Kool-Aid pitcher. Oh, yeah.

If the pros started wearing Lavender, there would suddenly be a run on Lavender umpire shirts by everyone here.

I'll bet more than one poster here has tried to purchase one of those MLB umpire smocks these guys are sporting this season.
