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.

Amen!

I don't do enough baseball in cold weather to justify it now, but a plate coat is something I would be all too happy to save up for once softball comes around on it.

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

Are you sure we were watching the same game? I was watching in a bar on a big screen and it was obviously black, and my buddy agrees (and he plays plenty of softball).

Well, unless you were watching in person, you really don't know for sure what the color was. It doesn't take too much to figure that a bar TV would not have the best color adjustment and may render navy as black.
