Balloon-Style Chest Protector for FP?

I don't know if it is possible, but IMO, it is a bad idea, for looks if nothing else. I entered umpiring when the ASA FP uniform required an inside protector, so I've never used one.

Personally, to me they look like a character out of a Normal Rockwell cartoon!
