Solid Blue Jacket

[njdevs00cup]

Can anyone give me a website which carries a solid blue jacket (no shoulder stripes), which can be used during a varsity baseball game. I'm looking for a jacket with insulation and a wind breaker. Thank you (most everything I've come across has the red and white shoulder stripes).

Pretty poor choice in uni's here in PA. Blue hats with gold lettering, doesn't even match the shirt collar/cuff, charcoal pants are not allowed, all black shoes. Horrible patch on the sleeve.


At least the half-zip is available with the grey zippers, so you don't have to be stuck with the v-neck windshirts and have a little style. I'm protesting the all black shoes, i'm not blacking out my NB's or my Reebok base shoes.

Haha, you have more cojones (sp) than I do. I just keep my shoes that have white in them until the summer (and college games) and use my standard all black ones during the spring.

This is the only time that I envy anything from WV because they can just wear whatever they want as long as they match.

Time for a revolution.

Quote from LA Unit head guy: "Every jacket you see worn by anyone here is acceptable, as long as they match their partner."

I counted six different navy jackets, including the all-navy one. And I counted four black ones, including that convertible one with the piping across the chest and inserts on the side. So we can wear any one of 10 jackets. In the SF Valley unit, it's the quarter-zip in navy with scarlet shoulder inserts, navy with powder blue inserts or black with white inserts. Three choices.

For a gear junkie to be told that they can wear any one of 10 jackets ... they don't know how traumatizing and costly it can be to tell one of us something like that.

We were similar to that, but even more liberal as we did not have to match our partner(s). We could wear whatever jacket we wanted as long as it was a baseball jacket and had the state patch.

They went to a specific jacket this year from a single supplier and it has an embroidered emblem which pretty much eliminates it from being used in non-state games. The only options are full zipper or pullover.

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. In NJ, we have to wear solid blue (no red or white shoulder stripes).

Thanks for post, that V-neck pullover seems like a deal.

I placed an order with this company for the solid navy jacket and upgraded most of my equipment. I would recommend them, as they had everything in stock and shipped quickly. The navy jacket is sharp.

Very reliable company; good prices; excellent service.

and run by an excellent umpire..........owner/operator is first rate, and understands how it is to be out here in the field....

I don't go anywhere else. Plus, they have a store where you can come in and try things on (for us local guys).

As piaa_ump can attest to, there's a great staff there that knows officiating, especially baseball.
