Also any place that you would recomend to buy the stuff? I buy my basketball shirts from the officials choice, and love them. Thanks in advance!
As of this moment in time, I own 3 different logoed sets of shirts (note: "sets"), 1 set of non-logoed shirts, in four different color combinations. 2 sets of logoed hats and 2 sets of non-logoed hats in two different colors. Locally, all require gray pants, thankfully. (See, Mike, valid for me! ). With local fastpitch sanctioning politics, I expect I'll be buying yet another set of shirts for this summer.

It goes with the territory.

I wish I only had 2 sets of shirts. Every association here has their own patch and color. I take up the whole coat closet in uniforms alone. Hats are also different for every group. I have a whole box of hats for the different sets. I am just thankful to the guy who showed me that I can use an 8 stitch behind the plate.

HA!

I found that out quite by accident a few years ago when I forgot my plate hat and only had a base hat in the car. It worked fine!

Maybe I'll find that guy. I still can't wear an 8-stitch behind the plate.

I can wear an 8 stitch at the plate but I do not like how it looks, so I go with a 6 stitch instead. I wear a "low profile" mask and the 8 stitch has a tendency to stick out in front. I am able to remove the mask w/o a problem, and if I had a traditional mask I would be all about the 8 stitch.

Bring your hat and mask tonight and I'll show you how to do it. I've never owned anything smaler than an 8-stitch including the 22 years I did baseball and when I did FP softball.

I started wearing the 8 stitch behind the plate last year, will NEVER go back to the 4....once you literally get the hang of it, you will stay with it also. It is much more comfortable for some reason, and it looks a heckuva lot better with the mask off. I use the Wilson 'dynalite'...

How often does everyone here have to replace a mask? I was just going to but new pads this year, when I noticed my harness was almost unusable, so I figured between the two, I might as well get a new mask! I figure I got five years out of this one..
