But their color was noticably different than any other uniform pants on the market. If everyone in your area chose them, that would work. But I've seen them on the field with fellas wearing other drawers, and they really stick out. Even more than the Davis pants.

Many folks don't care, and that's fine. Charcoal, heather, OC all look the same to them. And trust, the only folks who care is other umpires. Coaches, players and fans won't know, nor care what shade of gray you're wearing. I guess it comes down to who you're trying to impress, and how you want to look.

That may be the case with regular season Little League and other rec ball. But if you're doing high school, college, summer tourneys, etc., there will be a lot more people who notice, and they will say something about it.
