Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Doesn't make any difference because you are not going to be allowed to wear you Wilson mask.

This always amuses me. I've never been told what equipment to wear. I guess my titanium mask would be out (or have I not been following along).

For those looking for NB350 -- I have a pair of the NB995 shoes that out-comfort even those (and I had the 350s for a few seasons).

I just got a pair of plate shoes that are the most comfortable I have ever put on -- the Reebox RBK shoe -- this shoe would give those who hate white on the shoes an immediate stroke.

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".
