Caps- only Richardson as manufacturer. No more 4 stitch will be sold. Only the poly-serge blend to be sold. Colors are powder blue, navy, pink, discussions going on about adding a cream color or white

...more to come as the meeting goes along...

Don't know what "" means, but maybe NFL shirts next, just as relevant.
Are the current micro mesh poly-serge? I just ump, don't analyze fabrics.

More colors means more money. Have they ever seen a white or light color cap after being under a mask or just sweat & dust?

I'll guess caps will only come in navy. The other colors may likely be for shirts.

But even a white or cream shirt will get dirty quickly. Can't wear one of those multiple times during a tournament!

We could only get a handful of our local group to buy the navy blue shirts....

And, we are not a fashion show or USSSA.
Even worrying about which shade of blue goes with grey pants is ridiculous.
