I haven't been around long enough. What were the Elbecos? I may have seen them on umpires when I was playing though.

One color I don't have that I like is the gray. I don't know anyone who has it, but if people did I would wear it.

THAT'S an Elbeco shirt.

Absolutely!

I still like that gray that they wore for awhile a few years back. We wear that now and then.

Elbeco is a brand name of shirts. Any short sleeve light blue dress shirt was acceptable for a uniform shirt. People often mistook us for the mailman :).

Oh, nevermind. I'm not old enough to have seen those when I played. Did they double as auto mechanic shirts as well? :D

Why buy an imitation when the original is available? Check out the "Dry-Lo" ball bag at Evans store.

We couldn't move to the navy pullovers fast enough! If given the choice between an Elbeco and a navy pullover, I'll take the navy anytime. ;)

As far as ball bags go, I only wear leather. :D

You know, I was just kidding when I said we hadn't had a good ball bag thread in a while...

And it's patent leather to match your shoes. :p

I loved the old button-ups. Still have a couple in the wardrobe, hoping to pull them out one day for a special occasion.

When properly maintained and ironed with a sharp crease on the sleeve, they really looked sharp. Call me old-fashioned, but I think professionalism took a step back when we went with the pullovers. Kinda like casual day at work.

You're old-fashioned! ;)

Ouch...can someone pull me out from under the bus? ;)

And belt too....of course.

What will be real cool is when they come out with the patent leather Plate Coat too. Far out.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uniform stores still sell them as they are USPS required uniform.
I recall a rookie umpire wearing his new Elbeco shirt not realizing they are very sheer. His choice of undershirt had the slogan "Sh*t Happens" on the back. (without the *)
