New Navy Shirt For Softball

[whiskers_ump]

Heard that softball was going to make a Navy shirt option. However, the combination is different from the current navy, white, navy, red sleeve.
Anyone know which it is?

Thanks.

Are you talking about for TASO, or in general??? TASO announced that the official uniform for softball is the powder blue pullover with a white t-shirt only. However, they said that if both partners dressed the same, and for whatever reason the plate umpire felt more comfortable wearing a navy blue t-shirt, then the combination of navy blue t-shirt with navy blue pullover would be acceptable, though not the preferred uniform. The navy blue pullover is the same one that baseball used to use, as did some TASO softball chapters many moons ago. Looks like this without the logo:

Scott,

Not what we were told in Houston at Regional State meet. They said the new Navy has a different color combination. Was wondering if anyone had
seen it. Optional of couse and must match partner....They said if you had one, then you better have two if you wanted to wear it cause most people only have the baseball verison.

I just reread this closer. No...it is not different from that one, as you can see by the picture provided in my previous post. THAT is the one to which they referred.

That comment had been made also at the state meeting, and was later retracted. The corrected info should have been passed along to you. Actually, the comment should have been "the only acceptable version will be the navy blue with the red and white stripes on the sleeves and collar." There are now some that are available with only white stripes. These are not to be used.

Besides, Glen, why did you go to Houston for a regional when you could have come down to the sultry climes of Corpus and shared a cold one with me???

You are most welcome. As an aside here, my vote is for the state meeting to be in Corpus every year. It was warm there, plenty of nice acting and nice looking women, and plenty of fantastic bars and restaurants all within walking distance of the hotel. The clinics weren't too bad either!

If the shirt does change, it would have to be something new which no one has; so we can all line the pockets of the manufacturers with wasted money.

Speaking of bars and restaurants, HOOTEERS just opened right outside the gate of the 12 field complex I work. Wonder where our breaks will take place? This place is within spitting distance of the park.

Waste of time and money. I've yet to experience any Hooters "restaurant" that is worth the trouble of seeking out. If it's on the way and you do not crave anything which would qualify as good food or drink, than that's your place. Otherwise, just as well tailgate in the parking lot.

Its all about the scenery!

I was at my regional clinic this weekend and the ASA is selling a light brown pullover ...

I wonder if that is approved on the field or if its a gimmick item.

in additon to the powder blue shirt / navy blue pants, ASA authorizes navy blue shirt (ASA logo over left breast) with red, white, and blue stripes on collar and sleeves, and heather gray slacks. believe me, this combo looks much better than our old standard.
