New USA Softball Umpire Uniforms
 

The pictures of the new logo uniforms have been released....

Rebrand to USA Softball and new logo unveiled

Why all the yakking about logo when the shirts, etc. only have the 3 letters?
I assume the shirt that looks black on my screen is really navy blue.
I guess it was time to emulate USSSA with the security guard look.

Maybe my comments don't matter as I'll be retired by 2020. :rolleyes:

Here they had a chance to do something really unique, creative, and visually interesting, but came up with something that a 10 year old could do using Word.

More like the Charlie Harper look.

lame ... and probably $$$$$

That's why they add the word "Softball"... so there is no confusion with the USA bowling team! :)

What they meant to say in the USA Softball Rebrand Key Points document.

Ugh. :|

Well those are nice and dignifed.... :eek:

I'll second that. Some multi-color embroidered logo would have been nice. Maybe that would affect the margins on sales.

I think the latest "ASA" logo looks better than this new one. And how long will it take a plate cap to look like crap with those big white letters on it?

I'm not buying any of that stuff. I think NH will grandfather the old uni's for a while. And I'm getting real close to retiring as well.

I believe the best piece (design and presentation) ASA has ever put out is the ASA/USA Elite hat. Or even the leisure wear cap would be better.

Sometimes you have to wonder if they actually ask anyone outside of a small group of "yes" people about uniform changes.

I think it is just the treasurer. :rolleyes:

Well, I will have to say they missed the opportunity to really make the umpire uniforms look nice. These appear to be pretty plain to me. It's a shames. I agree some multicolor logos would make them look much more professional.

I was also told that there will be a 3rd colored shirt added to the mix. Possibly a tan one that would go with the navy blue or the gray pants?? Nothing firm yet.

That is a rumor that is making the rounds......from the knowledge I have, it is only a rumor.....

Just what we need - a nazi image :( :(

How do you figure that would represent a Nazi image?

Are some umpires too "authoritative"? :rolleyes:

Now I understand.

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. :eek:

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

See Steve's post... no worries! :(

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

Wow. The fabric doesn't wear out but they can go pink in under two years.

Discussing navy blues

Would you believe.... purple? Nevermind. My bad.
