What is wrong with the red shirts? (Yeah, I know what is going to happen after I post this comment) I have 2, and have had nothing but compliments from fans and coaches when I wear them.

And just to really get some people going... I do, and have worn, the OC Red w/Black trim shirt (with black bags, because the red is on backorder, and have not shipped to me yet). I got it when I made the mistake of asking my wife what shirt I should buy, she saw it and wanted me to get. So in the intrest of keeping the misses happy I bought it. I will maybe even post photos of it on here in the next couple of days.

1. Haven't you ever told someone how good they look when in reality, you wouldn't he caught dead in that get up?
2. They are being polite because if they tell you the truth, they are afraid that you will toss them.
3. What the hell do fans know?

1. They're okay if you match your partner.
2. They are being honest. They like the shirts.
3. Next to nothing, you don't have to know that much to tell that red is a good colour.

1.They are not okay. And I would never match my partner because I would never waste my money on one.

2. So the fans like the shirts. That's nice.

3. Red is not good for umpiring. When I see an umpire in red I think he looks like a clown even if he actually is a good umpire.

He also looks just like the bullseye on an archery target. Gives the pitcher and batters something to aim at!

The bull's eye on an (at least most) archery target is yellow.

Yeah, I probably should have researched that one better. How about the bullseye on a dart board then? Or the target logo for Target stores?

Or this archery target:

I have suspected in the past, and now I am convinced that you are using the wrong definition of rube in your signature.
