Ok, after playing for 30 years, at the age of 38 I have decided to give umpiring a whirl. I have been a basketball referree for 3 years now, so I'm not going into this totally blind.

My question is, does anyone have any suggestions on where to get uniforms? I'll be umpiring USSSA slowpitch in Washington State to start with and may start fastpitch after I get this ironed out a little.

Also, on one website I was looking for my uniforms that they have a red shirt and a blue. Seems to me I've seen them mostly wearing red, but do we need both? Seems like I'll be putting a lot more money out to get this uniform put together than I did my basketball uni, but it should be worth it. I love the game!

I'm sure my assignor can help with these questions, but thought I'd get some input on here also. Do any of you have any other suggestions to get me started?
