Honig's Under Armour Helmet

[mrm21711]

Came across this today when browsing:

Honig's Whistle Stop - ASM25UA - UNDER ARMOUR SOLID PRO HEAD GEAR HELMET


This was discussed earlier and straight from Brad @ All Star Sports, the UA helmet is just an All Star helmet with a UA logo on it sold at a higher price. Looks like its this helmet from UA:

All Star System 7 Umpire Helmet: Ump Attire

This might be more silly than last year's shirts made in Pakistan

Good post...yep, looks pretty much the same!

Caught this last weekend when I was doing some searching... didn't have time to drill down into it; however, with pictures of UA's and AS's side-by-side I took about 10 different points and compared and couldn't find a difference.

Thanks for posting... saved me a little digging.

Not to rehash but Brad Jurga said they are the same with just a UA logo on them.

Years ago I went to Honig's for everything. In the last few years, all my gear is Wilson that I purchased from Ump-Attire or Lester's, I recently bought a Majestic Therma Base jacket from a small online retailer. Besides the Poly Wool slacks, theres nothing I consider a must have from them. I think you can make a strong case that they just dont "get it" like they used to.

A few years ago I emailed them and thought it would be a good idea to carry a heavyweight jacket (like the Thermabase before it came out) because I was sick of layering in the extreme cold and having limited mobility. They missed a good opportunity to beat Majestic to the punch and develop their own jacket and also to offer a black jacket with white shoulder piping like everybody was requesting when Majestic came out with the MLB polo blue jacket.

IMO, gotta give some credit to Jim Kirk for really having his finger on what guys want & like (for the most part.) I cant remember the last time I heard people talk about Gerry Davis Sports either.

OK...Im done now
