Ball Bag Color HS: Blue, Grey or Black

[Klokard]

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.

For baseball: black, all the time. But as always with uniforms, if your association wants something specific, go with that.

Not that it matters, but black bags look fine with the blue shirts and caps the PCL guys wear.

Looks fine on the pros in the IL as well. Again....hardly an issue to get heartburn over.

I follow the match the cap theory.

20 plus years of doing this , I have NEVER heard ONE person complain about the color of a black, blue, navy or grey ball bag yet.

If thats the only thing you get wrong for each game, then your doing a hell of job. One exception though, if this is your full time job, do as the boss says.

Oh, I rotate between navy and black depending upon what comes out of the the equipment bin first. And yes I have accidently worn both colors at the same time and still, no comments. HMMMM!

The ultimate ball bag by ump-attire.com is nice. I just picked one up. A bit pricy, but good material, a waterproof lining and nice looking.

If you go with gray bags be sure they match your pants. I saw a guy the other day with new charcoal pants and heather gray bags it was not a good look.

There are widespread reports that the seams come apart at the edges (the stress points that the baseballs make) far too quickly. It's a problem that could easily be solved by a needle and thread to reinforce the seams, but that really should be done at the factory to start with.

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