hrmmm ASA sent me a mix of old and new logo items

well, I ordered what the "list" told me to order ... so, nationals will just have to put up with what I bring.
I'm actually excited to drive 9 hours to call 3-4 games. :D

and yes, the hat sizes don't work at all... you'd think 7 3/8" would be 7 3/8"

I went ahead and ordered some shirts and hats to take with me to my National tournament in Florida next week, but will use them only if necessary (depending on how many games I do per day). If I manage to get through the tourney without using what I bought, I'll send it back to them if they still have the old logo.
There's a good idea... Thanks

Hat sizes have never been accurate - for any organization. So, no I don't expect 7 3/8 to be anything other than what it feels like when I put it on to see if it fits.

True. Buying hats online has always been a sizing crap-shoot.

oh I get it.. "cap-shoot"

And yes, I normally wear a 7 1/8

Last hats I got, the 7 1/8 (my normal size) was way too tight and the 7 1/4 was too loose (OK on the bases, but too loose for my mask).

For nigh on 15 years I have been able to order a 7 3/4 from ASA and it has been a 7 3/4. This time, with the new logo stuff, it was more like a 8 1/2. So yeah, they used to be accurate.....:cool:

That's the Chinese size.

Well, my order came in for my new hats and shirts. I ordered a four-stitch and a six-stitch for plate and base, respectively. Here's what OKC sent:

The six-stitch has the new logo, but not the four-stitch. Sigh...

At least the shirts they sent have the new logo on them.

This is possibly because most folks use a 6 or 8 stitch for plate and bases. As a result, the old stock of 4 stitch hats is assuredly much deeper than the others. I only buy 6 stitch hats. I didn't even know they still produced the 4 stitch. I thought it had gone the way of the two stitch.
