Home Plate ump forget his long sleeves?

I've seen UA stuff with short sleeve shirts on many occasions and do not have a problem with it.

I've known a few guys that wear ong sleeve UA type stuff in the heat of summer because they are having skin cancer issues. In fact I've considered this because on two occasion my doc has been concerned about spots on my arm. A well ventilated short sleeve short with some long sleeve UA Heat Gear is far cooler than a long sleeve umpire shirt in summer situations.

I've worn a long sleeve shirt on the bases. However, it was really cold and I was looking for layers. It was of course under my jacket, so the only one who knew was me. I've never seen just a long sleeve shirt being worn on the bases.

Just because you don't see MLB umpire wearing long sleeved jerseys on the bases doesn't make bad. You won't catch me wearing those short sleeved smocks they wear.

If you guys don't have the long sleeved shirt from theofficialschoice.com, you're missing out. Niiiiiiiice. Base, plate, no matter. It's a very comfortable piece of gear when it's 55 to 65 degrees.

Long sleeved under armour under a short sleeved shirt just looks a bit tacky, like an after thought. Not a big deal, and if you're wearing to block the sun, God bless. Don't lose sleep over it.

I've seen MWC and SWAC guys wear long sleeves on the bases. I always wondered why they didn't just throw on jackets.

My most favorite piece of gear is a +POS lined long sleeved jersey. They didn't make them very long, but they're very warm. I'll wear them down to 50, where I'll switch to a jacket.

I like to wear the long sleeve on the plate or bases if it is cool but not cold. I've heard the theory that they are only for plate but I've seen it on both here. Long sleeve undershirt looks silly. Last week I had a partner in a red UA with a navy shirt. (He resembled Superman a little bit) between games he said he forgot his jacket so I gave him one of mine.
