How do you figure that would represent a Nazi image?

Are some umpires too "authoritative"?

And, no change to the one thing that would be a definite improvement (IMO). It is past time for heather gray to be retired. The color does not hold up, quickly fading to a brownish-pinkish mess. IDK if the baseball "charcoal" gray would be better, but it is time to try something else.

If there is any one thing you should realize is consistent about ASA/USA Softball, it is that they will NEVER match something someone else is doing, even if fully and completely successful. Refuse to be perceived as followers, have to be leaders.

They will not agree with charcoal. Or red and black. Or ...... Ever.

I agree, just get rid if the gray altogether

I hope you two are willing to reimburse my investment in several pair of high priced Fecheimer pants.

I never had a pair that lasted less than 5 years and that includes daily wear to the office.

Ten years ago, I would agree with you. Today? Hell, they follow everyone.
