I would be all right with a black shirt, and the MLB light blue w/black looks pretty cool too. Just not enough guys I work baseball with have one.



You cheated and used a picture of a plate coat!

Man oh man, if I worked enough baseball in cold weather to justify the expense I would buy one in a heartbeat. To me it just looks awesome.

Or the softball organizations could just make it an option... And I said "option." Baseball guys can wear a pullover or long sleeve shirt, and softball umpires can do the same.

To summarize: I have no problems with gray pants. I just cannot see why this would be a big deal...

You cheat anytime you use a good looking baseball umpire uniform and pit it against softball blue pants / powder blue. It looks lame.

But can look good, just google around umpire pics. Any time you are look at a pic and the umpire looks good, I'd say 90% change they are gray.

Get some pleated honigs, and you might accidentally start to have a decent appearance.

Sometimes, its just not fair....




because we dont even want to start to discuss slow pitch uniforms.

Hey now, when the baseball forum discussed that picture we all agreed: The guy on the right should not be wearing plate pants on the bases!

John,
You guys do that - and throw in some transportation $ - and I'll work free. As long as I can wear my bell bottoms, I mean plate pants, on the bases.
Heck, I might even by a wig & show up with the hair I had 30-some years ago.
