Maybe - but Majestic makes the MLB shirts & jackets.

Plate - Plate Coat or Long Sleeve Shirt - No Pullover. I hate a jacket behind the plate.

Bases - Jacket or Short Sleeve Shirt - no long sleeve. No "smock" or half-zip/convertible jacket either. Ugly!

At some point there was (maybe still is) some type of partnership between Honig's and MLB. There are two umpires I've worked with this summer who have Honig's shirts which are labeled as Honig's with the MLB Authentic tag.

Honig's Canada was the last I saw MLB logo shirts for sale to the public.

Why not? I've done it. Not that it matters to me, but I've seen a D1 crew do it. I have no problem with it.

I haven't worn a jacket on the plate since I picked up my long sleeve shirt.

There was starting in about 2000 or 2001. I have a shirt with the MLB logo on the back. The shirts and jackets MLB wears now are Majestic.

The umpires in the AAA PCL have worn Honig's since at least 2001.

Y'all need to get away from this mentality. Wear what looks good to you, and stop goosestepping to what your "heroes" wear. More often than not the only taste those guys have is in their mouth.

Example: Smocks

I like those "smock" jackets only in long sleeve form, and not 2 sizes too big.

They used to not be convertible back when they were first introduced years back, but then they were modified as you see them today.

They're just plain ugly. Yuck.

Thats true - the Honig's shirts and jackets with the MLB logos ended a while ago - maybe 5 or so years.

MiLB switched to Honig's after +POS started having trouble and finally went out of business.
