Sorry, another boring equipment thread

[jkumpire]

Folks,

I need some recommendations.

I need a new black plate coat for next year and a new pullover that is worth a hoot. One with a collar that stays down if you put it down, and goes up if you want it up.

My current plate coat is +POS. Anyone use the newer models out there?

What is the warmest pullover out there with a good collar.

Thanks men!

I know you're not going to like to hear it, but Smitty makes a really nice pullover.

My black plate coat is from Honigs - it's about four years old. Likewise with my pullovers - Honigs. Very satisfied with them. The plate coat supplements my old Fechheimer blue one - still hanging in the closet, though it gets little use.

I like the way the collar stays up or down depending on how you want it. Good looking jacket with nice waist and cuffs.

And since we have started another boring equipment thread, has anybody seen the new black-only version of the Reebok plate shoes?

I like these much more. I feel the only thing they screwed up on is the MLB logo on the toebox. I have the Field Magistrate base shoes and dont mind the MLB logo on the heel, but dislike it on the toebox.

I understand they will be offering the shoe in all black and in the current version with the white logo on the sides next season. Can anybody (maybe Jim Kirk) confirm this for sure?

Now these, I can work with. I may have to give them a try.

Some of us remember when the original Smitty lanyard for basketball officials came out in the last century. The name on the jacket doesn't matter as long as it works.

Is it warm?

BTW, anyone wear a Gerry Davis plate coat?

I really like this +POS jacket, and the gray stripes actually match my charcoal pants. Nice and warm, but again, I live in San Diego, so what do I know?
