MAC championships - black shirt

[wadeintothem]

It was an eve game - They wouldnt be any warmer than Navy Shirts.

I wouldnt want to be wearing black in the stockton heat myself!!!

Didnt catch if they were charcoal or heather. I would think heather. Either is better than the ugly navy pants.

I DID notice the PU was not wearing plate shoes, which I thought was odd. Maybe he forget them.

That's what polo bue (w/black collar) is for. Or cream, if you must, but I'm not a big fan of that color

MAC=Mid-American Conference

Well why else do so many umpires have every color around?

The big problem I do see with too many variations is the expense and never knowing what the heck uniform to bring. I had that problem in little ball, had to bring 5 different shirts.. and somewhat in men's NAFA ball. You never know what your partner remembered to bring. At least in ASA that is not an issue. It would be a big problem at a tournament if too many uniforms were allowed.

But they still looked sharp and professional last night (tennis shoes behind the plate aside ). Ive liked the direction NCAA ball is headed in for the past few years. They are doing well mechanics, training, and appearance.

I noticed the crew in the Big XII championship game were wearing the black shirts as well.

Yes indeed.. a new day is dawning across the land. I bet it has to do with..
TV!

They look good and thats important for our sport & TV.

Now if they start wearing plate coats....

The plate umpire for the Big XII championship was wearing a long sleeve navy blue shirt. Have you had any comments from coaches about your eyes lately? Might be correct this time
