Pants

[VanStanza]

I am a Softball Canada umpire. Currently, our official supplier (who I will leave nameless because I believe that if you have nothing nice to say...) makes a terrible pant. I won't go in to all of the reasons why their pants are so bad (wait....didn't I say something about if you have nothing nice to say?....oh well)

So I've been searching for a navy pant elsewhere. I'm looking for a flex waist (if possible) in both base pant and plate pant. I'm not interested in any combo pants (sorry Smitty's). Are the ASA approved pants good? Is the navy blue a nice, dark blue? Do they turn purple or grey? I see from the Official Gear site that they are Fechheimer Pants, but when I called Fechheimer today, the customer service agent claimed that Fechheimer only makes Heather Grey umpire pants. And BTW, I love Fechheimer pants, as I do have a couple pairs of Heather Grey from them.

Anyone help me make a decision?
