After seeing their shirts, I don't think "Price From $39.95 to $44.95" is a low enough to entice many. Honigs "ultimate" pants are $50-$55, Ump-Attire has Smitty charcoal pants for $45-$48, and purchaseofficials.com has smitty charcoal for $37-$44 (they have some closeout smitty charcoal for $24.99- size 34 are sold out, but 33 and 35s are still in stock). For me, and I'm sure many others, these other companies are probably worth the extra $5-$10 not to mention the officials choice has higher shipping costs most of the time.

Sorry, the officials choice is a sore subject for me because many of our new umpires bought shirts from there and they now don't really match the rest of our association because TOC uses different size stripes and the color shades don't really match the other shirt makers. Heck, their polo blue shirts that guys bought this summer now have purple buttons (How does that happen?!).
