I can't quite figure out why there is an "Entry Level" and a "Premium Level" shirt. Why not just make one?

These would go perfect with my RED ball bag! YES!!

I gotta tell ya, the maroon is pretty sharp looking with the GD charcoal pants. I got a freebie from them, and I'm buying several for my other crew mates.

Toss out your preconceived notions about colors (WWMLBguysW), and think about what colors go well with dark gray slacks. Now I understand that the only taste some of you guys have is in your mouth, so try play along, okay?

If I look in my non-umpire closet, I've got zero baby blue golf shirts. Several red, a couple of navy, a few black and green ones two. I don't think I'd wear a powder blue polo shirt, nor a pink one. If Joe West wore a pink paisley shirt, half you guys would be hitting the keyboards searching for one. The same ones that have those half sleeved smocks in your arsenal.

So stop thinking about what other umpires wear, and start thinking about what looks good. When I roll with a crew wearing red (no, no red ball bags) we get nothing but compliments. Powder? Nothing. Black is always sharp. Cream? Please. You're wearing black based colored pants, and you want to toss in brown? Would you wear a brown shirt with a gray suit? I hope not.

Are these the best quality shirts? No. They're cut weird, and the light blue doesn't match any other makers shirts. But they are comfortable on hot days, and the long sleeved black is a keeper. The chocolate one is just stupid, as is their version of red. I haven't seen the sage, so I won't pass judgment. It might look pretty good with the gray.

Look, 20 years from now you'll be chuckling at the garb you're wearing now. (Think elbcos, beanies, pillows, etc). And you won't be caught dead in an MLB polo blue shirt either. Hell, we might all be wearing maroon base coats, and turtlenecks again. What goes around.....

Using the this logic, I'd never wear black and white stripes on the football field or basketball court.

Did you mean lamé?

I have some OC shirts and other brands, so I can always match my partner.

Sure, those colors would look great if you were serving drinks next to the pool as some posh hotel.

I've got some black pants and a short sleeved white shirt hanging in the closet - and wouldn't they look sharp with a thin black tie, dinner jacket, and a snappy little black beanie?

Dalco has been doing quite well for years doing just that. There's a market for crappy stuff. Every Mom 'n Pop sporting goods store has a bunch of awful, entry level Dalco umpire shirts collecting dust in a corner somewhere.
