I only wear +POS and Fetchimer, is Honig's pant really that much darker you notice it?

I guess I can buy new stuff, the idea is to be professional, but frankly I'd rather keep with the same stuff. I haven't even bought the newer color shirts recently, mopst of the time my partners only have navy or light blue, so why spend $$$ for shirts you wear once a year if then?

Yes, you can notice the difference when on the field with two umpires who are wearing different colors. For most games, though, no one cares.

Here, the IHSA requires the heather gray, not the darker gray. One college association requires (I think) the darker gray. I agree that they go better with the polo blue and black.

That said, what the "standard" is in OR, or FL, or IL or NY shouldn't matter to the OP -- only the standard in his/her area.
