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.

And since I have a pretty good inkling that Larry (DNTXUM P) was there, I tend to believe him.

True, the bar TV probably didn't have good coloring...but then again, Fox Sports Midwest has some pretty crappy coloring so it may have looked black.

Beyond that, is he not also one of the few approved vendors for Big 12 softball, as well as on the conference roster? I think he would certainly know if black was an approved uniform shirt.

You have a point!
