Red caps?

[johnnyg08]

Admittedly, I was a fan of the red when it first came out. Now, I don't even bring it with me so there no temptation for my partner (whomever that may be) to suggest wearing the red. Now, if they had red ball bags to go w/ my red hat and red shirt, that might change my mind! :-) On second thought...probably not.

I too, have strong opinions on guys who don't keep their gear in good shape...especially their hats, shirts, and pants...those are the things that the non-umpires notice when we step on the field. There are very few guys out there who are that hard-up for money that they can't keep their uniforms looking sharp. IMO, guys who don't look sharp bring down the entire association's reputation.

Has anyone worn the new New Era 5950s with the poly (rather than wool) material? I like the idea of no shrinking and moisture management, but haven't bought one yet.

I know of the 5950's and they're nice.

Maybe he means the food service industry?
