Ball Bag Color HS: Blue, Grey or Black

I have to recant my black only stance.

Last week a friend of mine was working the dish wearing the GD gray pants, with matching charcoal ball bags. Now that's a sharp looking combo.

Too bad the GD ball bags are so inferior. Don't get started with them. You'll regret it if you do.

Thanks Kevin. I haven't pushed the "CONFIRM YOUR ORDER" button on them yet. I'm down to my last set of black +POS bags though, and will need some sort of replacements.

Honig's are the definitive ball bags. Excellent fabric and double stitching. I haven't tried the new Ump Attire deluxe ones, but they were modified to comply with the professional appearance standard and are extremely well made.

MrUmp. Please tell me you don't wear black hats with HS light blue or navy shirts? True, it's always black belt and shoes, but I contend the ball bags MUST match the hat and shirt. Not that others must follow, but that's how I will always dress out.

It's also what most associations require. If your uniform's color requires you to wear a navy cap, wear navy ball bags.

I wear charcoal ball bags with navy shirt, black with all other shirts.

My ball bags are Gerry Davis. What don't you guys like about them? I haven't had any problems.

Where do you base your information on? I have worked for two different state associations and never heard such a requirement?
