Someone has stated that the +POS jackets sold on the reopened website are not of the same quality as the originals, nor the ones being sold on eBay. I can attest that the plate brushes aren't the same as the old ones. I have no idea what's being sold at pluspos.com. Someone may have just bought the names, designs and patents.

I have a +POS jacket that I got from Dan Parsons via eBay, with white/charcoal/white stripes. The color matches my pants, it looks fabulous, and is of top notch quality. I blows the Honigs away. Does it match the 90% of guys who wear the Honigs? Nope. But in the games that I work, it doesn't matter.

So you can match your crew members exactly, or be a hair different (only other umpires will notice), and a lot sharper.

The regular black PlusPOS (without the gray trim in the shoulder inserts) is an exact match for the Honig's black jacket. I have the black with the regular white/black/white trim and it was an exact match for the Honig's.
