Ever since the nice feeling cotton pull over was phased out a few years ago, all the local umps have been whining. I called the ASA and asked them if they could go nylon or better yet back to the poly/cotton. Its political. Its so bad that on non-sanctioned games/leagues umps here are wearing "generic" nylon look-a-likes. Does anybody reeeeally like these poly shirts ?

I don't, but when I raised the point at the ASA Nat UIC Clinic a couple of years ago, I got beat up pretty good. Mostly by umpires from the SouthWest (Ariz, SoCal) area.

Personally, I don't think they let enough air to get inside the shirt. I would like to see ASA go to the Mizuno mesh that ISF uses. The mesh is "open" and allows air to flow freely.
