It was just a matter of time I suppose:

At that price the shipping cost will more than the bags are worth... Wait a minute, on second thought the shipping costs have always been more than the bags are worth.

Those leather ball bags are great for carrying your deer jerky in when you're in the woods...

Does it look really unprofessional to wear ballbags with pouches on the outside for plate brush and indicator. I would never wear one of those.

If you're referring to the 'ump-attire' ball bag, yes, never wear that.

An excellent bag, nothing shows on the outside, we took the basic desing and improved it significantly for our own use. Scothgard, tighter weave, etc.

Miserable material that looks faded the day it arrives.

I am with Rich, the color does not hold well in those bags. I never used the zipper compartments in them either. The only thing I really liked about the bag was that the material was thick and for some reason I seemed to be able to get baseballs in and out quicker than with the Honigs or Gerry Davis models. But that was about all I could say in the positive.

Note that we built out own however I have seen dozens and not one faded. Did you send it back?

P.S. The grey bag was much lighter weight cloth.

I wish they'd stop selling those...I see so many new, young umpires wearing those damn things...I've given away all of my older blue, cloth honigs bags...even an older looking navy bag, looks better than the friggin' ump attire bag...

My bet is that they can be bought. Yeppers, make themn an offer like $100,00 for the patent and the entire inventory, the rights, everything. Get back and tell us how it went.

Note the flip-flop on the answer.

The Ump-attire folks came along and has several new things, the bag being one of them. A smart design that nearly to a one was immedaitely hated by the Old Guard. Why? You would think they had enough things to hate.

It's one of the bonds these Jewels Of Officiating have. You know, like tuffs in a street gang, all their hair slicked back the same. Lotta ex-military left in them.

Btw, ump-attire also rewrote the rules for websites which is why they have been succcessful. They understood marketing, Internet marketing in particular, while the others stood still, they yanked a huge chunk of the retail apparel market.

Back to the Jewels. They are the same ones who argue that a mask has equal protection as a helmet. Which is one other reason they think in circles. A few to the upside of the head, eh? lol
