IMO, this is a silly fixation on the part of the ASA chief honchos.

I do understand trying to tighten the standards on uniforms - you should see some of the stuff worn around here.

But, really, worrying about the pockets "flaring out"?

No other diamond-sports orgnization worries about that... which is, of course, why you can ONLY get the western cut pockets from ASA Properties.

Wait... that there IS the reason they mandate western cut - you can only buy them from ASA!!

Fech and Keen make the best quality umpire pants, IMO, and ASA's price is competitive for Fech. But, I hate the western cut pockets. And, I prefer pleated - more comfortable.
