Hey, be careful there Pensaump...
I bought two of the white with black collars too. I already wore them this fall. I knew my partner for a scorching DH in September wouldn't have that color so I let him wear mine.
When I want to wear something I won't let a cheap *** partner hold me back. A hint for wearing this white shirt though. A black undershirt or an undershirt with writing on it shows through, a lot. It is very cool (weather-wise) though. I did both plates so we could get it over sooner (middle school fall ball-a terrible idea). I thought we looked pretty good in them. No other umpires saw us to give a fair and balanced critique though.

I did the same (ordered two of the white and shared them on a hot day), and the major gripe is with the black undershirt bleeding through. I will be wearing a white tee (I know, not contrasting) under it next time.
It is a good-looking shirt.

Yep, we started right away....
The games had 1.5 hour time limits. The second game's teams were there, warmed up and ready. I am still in pretty decent shape for a 46 year old.
I regularly work as many as three to four plates in a day (six or seven games total per day on Thursday thru Sunday) in the summer during tourneys. I know it sounds crazy but it still isn't as hard as the duty I pulled when I was in the Army at Fort Bragg. Plus, I love umpiring and it was middle school level fall ball. I cannot get better working that level. Sad thing or crazier thing (depending upon your point of view) is that the day before this middle school madness I worked 8 innings behind the plate at a D1 college fall ball intrasquad at the University of Louisville. You want to talk about adjusting. Call me crazy. It's okay, I used to jump out of perfectly good airplanes. I'm used to it.
