I happened to have both my OC and my Honig's Polo Blue in the car today. Exactly the same color.

And yeah, that's me with the plate coat. I was a last minute fill-in, and had to figure out a different getup, which was the theme for the evening. The Lime green guy(?) is Thunder, the mascot for the Lake Elsinore Storm. He had all fly balls to center field (not really). And there is no hard evidence that I did the Chicken dance with him in the fourth inning. Almost as cool as the Swinging Friar, from the Padres, actually working the fryer at our field. (Notice the granite countertops, how many snackbars/MLB parks can boast that?)

 A view from our balcony (I'm workin' the GD stance, thank you)  A two story clubhouse, complete with an umpires changing room, real bathrooms, a professional kitchen, webcams and meeting room. Our own wells for watering the fields. Musco lights. Lighted batting cages. A tree lined view in the outfield. Etc.  All donated by our generous community.

And then up at Fairbanks Ranch, where they make you guys look penniless, where I've umpired Jack McDowell, Kirk McCaskill and Trevor Hoffman's kids, they have one of the lousiest, crappiest, run-down fields with no facilities whatsoever. Go figure.
RBV is a nice area. I used to do Longhorns games (Dave Roberts days) and adult league ball at RBV high.

Interesting indeed. I think that's about when I got my first set. And, I just recently received some more (within he past month or so). No difference between them -- although Kevin's comment means I'll have to go check the trim, now. And, I recently ordered some Smitty's -- they were of a completely different color, so I sent them back.

Take a poll ... I simply choose to go along with the accepted practices out of respect for the vocation. I wasn't equating anything with shirts that don't match. I was emphasizing that, from the tip of the button on the top of one's cap, to the tip of one's shoes---everything matters. The way a patch is affixed to a pocket matters. The way a shirt is tucked in matters. The way slacks fit matters. The way shoes are cleaned matters. Everything matters. It matters to most umpires, some baseball people and a few observers. It also matters to every evaluator and almost every assignor. We had an assignor reject the wider stripe OC black shirts. Another assigner declared at the playoff meeting: "And don't even think of showing up with one of those shirts that doesn't match anybody else's. The ones with the pink buttons like his! Get a real shirt." It matters, and it will continue to matter to me. If it does not matter to you, go ahead and continue to think and do whatever you wish.
