Never have 'liked' the stripes. Call me a softball traditionalist, but what is wrong with plain navy?

(The upside is that in my region, there is rarely a need for a jacket in Championship Play)

Nothing's wrong with plain navy, but the old jackets looked like something out of the 80s. Not to mention the fact that they couldn't block a breeze, much less actual wind.

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

I miss the 'satin' zipper jacket (can't believe Mrs Okla21fan threw mine out a few years ago)

Did it go well with your Elbeco shirt?

I still have my old Elbeco...

You can always cut it off and duct tape it to your current shirt...

The jacket I have that has been my favorite (and yes, it can keep you warm) is the no zip pullover from about 12 years ago or so.

I also still have some old Elbecos in the umpire closet.

I still have and use the old 'diamond logo' full zip jacket I bought about a long time ago - still looks good and is comfortable - why change? Its waterproofed, and no one says a word. I wish ASA still made a sweater, but you really dont need that very much around here I guess - our leagues do no start until May. Besides, if its that chilly, I wear my hs sweater under my jacket! April can be chilly sometimes around here, so NYSSO has nice lined jackets like this:

,

and a nice warm sweater!

A little, but not too bad. I wear an XL, and it fits pretty well.
