Shirts...
I am looking into getting into umpiring and went to a few local baseball games. At one game the crew had on Creme color shirts and another one I went to they had on red shirts. How many shirts/colors will I need, and how do you determine which color do you wear?? Any good deals right now for a basic starter package? Thanks a lot!

Red is usually reserved for disco queens and east side whores. Honigs usually has good deals on starter packages, which normally come with a navy blue shirt. Most areas still wear the navy. |

I'm working on a sponsorship from a big jersey maker for our group. We might even be working in Maroon shirts with silver and black trim. I've seen a mockup, with a black hat, and it's not bad. Of course, instead of Blue........ |

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. Peace |
Hehehe,
Every time I see an umpire is a red shirt I start humming "Stayin Alive."
I can't help myself. Regards, |
Oh my God! Tim and I are humming the same song when we see red!!! :eek:
Well, I guess it could be worse... Hit it, K.C.! "I wanna put on...my my my my my boogie shoes..." |

got the shirt thing sorted out...now what color hat? BLue or black. The IHSA handbook doesnt say. Also what is better a combo hat or a plate hat and a base hat?? Thanks a ton!!

Since the IHSA requires a navy shirt, the navy cap would be the correct one to wear.
|
Blue would be the first choice but Lavender would go nicely, also!
