That's good to know, thanks!

Do they carry any other umpire gear or uniform items?

My reference was to a league which, through equipment sponsorship, supplies their umpire with equipment. Like a player, if you want to be on the field, you will wear the sponsors equipment.

The league is not going to risk the support of a sponsor by promoting one brand only to have their umpires wear another. If they do, well, the sponsor will not be around long.

Oh, like I said, I came in late.

If someone gave me free stuff, I'm sure I would wear it (provided it fit -- I couldn't wear Nike shoes if someone paid me -- too narrow).

They supply only 1 umpire?? Lucky be you.

Must be only 1, otherwise it would be "supply their umpires".

They carry a variety of items such as the pants, shirts, chest protectors, face masks and other accessories. When are you transferring to Houston?

Good to hear, I'll have to go check them out when I get established.

I should be moving at the end of August/beginning of September.
