NFHS Uniform?

I take responsibility for everything I write or say.

I really have no interest in anything "dudeinblue" could write. He is, afterall, on my all time six man umpire crew of the "internets finest."

And I write for understanding and seldom worry about the detail you mention. I am educated and have posted (forever) that I care little about the forms of grammar.

Plate coats have never left (kinda like Bob's Big Boy). I have both navy and black. And in Seattle 17 years ago (long before FOX) we went to Navy over ELBECO.

And of course, the single biggest uniform purchase I have ever made as an umpire was the no-$h!t Feccheimer plate coat, which is apparently now (a) out of fashion and (b) out of color (mine's navy). I don't care. We start high school baseball around here in the third week of February- it's buttcold and I am going to do what I can to be comfortable. Plus, it cost me $250 13 years ago, when I was a baby lawyer and I couldn't afford it.

Strikes and outs!

I had to purchase one last year for NCAA ball... $375 for the Frankenstein coat?

I'm just glad to know that I'm not the only one who continues to insist on wearing one- I'm one of three or four guys in my association who even owns one any more.

Let me make that previous post clear... I had to purchase it...

Personally, BL, I think they look much better than jackets. I've got a navy plate coat but not a black one. Does Fechheimer make the black ones? Who sells them? I'd get one from Honig's, but their brand of plate coats I don't like. They seem cheap and low quality.

I'm not sure if they are even in business anymore, although it seems to me that I saw their pants advertised in a catalog or on a website recently. The plate coats (on those very rare occasions when they wear them) I have seen on the MLB guys in the last few years is black, so I'm betting it comes from Honigs.

Black and navy both- $249.99. I would guess that this is the best time to order one. 5-6 weeks.

Strikes and outs!

same feelings towards you good buddy! Alot of the others on here might respect you, but I think you're a complete joke and don't listen to a word you say. Even if you tried to give me advice, I still wouldn't listen to it. Anybody who is your age and tells somebody to FO like they're 13 years old again doesn't deserved to be listened to.

In all honesty, dib, I wasn't offended by it. I considered it rather casual.
