I worked a national last year and bought three new pairs of plate and base pants both and it will be a worthwhile investment for years to come as I wear them for High School ball as well.

I would also recommend purchasing your Navy Pants if that is your color for national from Oklahoma City as the NUS staff has had discussions about making the Navy's from OKC the only accepted pant.

The mandate already is that any National (whatever color the UIC makes the uniform) must be Fleckheimers with western cut pockets. But I have not seen any umpire kept from umpiring because they didn't have these pants on, and there was no lineup pant inspection at any of the nationals I have been to since this mandate, and there were people that were OBVIOUSLY not wearing the "required" pants. But you are right on paper they require you to wear them, and I personally like them but that's not fair it is all I have ever owned so I have no reference to compare them to.
