My black Dalco shirt was torn last weekend. A ball hit the shirt where the clip is on the CP. I'm going to get either the Honigs or Smitty to replace it. |

Smitty's is the only brand that I have tried that doesn't require me to wear two sizes. I still do mostly, but in a couple of the colors that I had to put patches on, I only wear an XL, and it's not too loose on the bases, or too tight around the CP. The fabric is very comfortable and forgiving.
With most brands that are seriously oversized, I wear a L on the bases and a XL at the plate. The Smitty's are only slightly oversized, so I go XL and XXL. But like I said, I can get away with just the XL in that particular brand. Last edited by Kevin Finnerty; Thu Sep 17, 2009 at 09:05am. |

My gray and black Smitty shirts should arrive today, and also my new Reebok plate shoes. I can't wait to try them out this weekend.

I have always bought from Honigs and Gerry Davis. Maybe because I haven't found anywhere else who provides the level of service that they do? I have personal contacts at both and feel very secure in what they offer. The only exception was buying my plate and base shoes direct from New Balance.

I ordered my shoes and hats from Ump-Attire on Monday and they arrived today. I also ordered my shirts from Purchase Officials on Monday, and they also arrived today. Excellent service from both places every time I order. I have everything sent Priority Mail from the post office, which is much cheaper than UPS 2nd day air and the same delivery time.

One of the main units in our area is showing signs of going to black and MLB blue at the high school level in 2010. It sounds like navy, powder and navy caps and ball bags are all finally going to be out. Also, it looks like they're thinking of relaxing the all-black shoe standard as well.
For those of us who wear black whenever allowed, it's good to see. I've also been waiting to try those Reeboks. |

Funny story about uniforms and the all-black shoe debate...
A fellow umpire was selected to work the Final Four for the state tournament, which is held locally. The state office told the umpires working these games that they need to wear all black shoes, so my friend couldn't wear his Reebok base shoes, and instead wears some all black basketball referee shoes. So I'm looking at a photo album online from the state championships. In one of the pictures of the umpires, the three guys (Not the crew my friend was on) are wearing three different styles of navy jackets. One with the red/white stripes, one with the powder stripes, and one that's all navy. I want to know who the guy is at the state level who is an all black shoe Nazi but will let three guys walk on the field for a state championship game in three different jackets. |

I always just go with what is preferred by leadership. They want creased caps and all-black shoes, that's what I wear. I just hope they relax the all-black shoe thng so we can all try the Reeboks.
