What is your alternative for ASA logos? Do you have vendors at clinics?

Do you buy caps seven other people have tried on?

Sometimes the state UIC comes prepared, sometimes not.

Probably, but there is no guarantee against that with the on-line vendors, either. No head lice yet!

In our former ASA regime here, the state ASA commissioner's office maintained an umpire gear store. That's where I bought my ASA-logo-ed hats, with an in-store visit. And, my plate hats sport a variety of marked sizes!

These days, we have little or no need for any ASA-logo-ed gear for any games in the state, so I haven't needed to buy any ASA-logo-ed hats for several years. I still have one set that is practically brand new (but the old logo... sigh).

Which leads me to this: QUIT CHANGING LOGOS FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN USING UMPIRES AS A CASH COW FOR YOUR BUSINESS!!! (This applies to all of them, not just ASA!)

USSSA is the absolute worst to this end.

Amen and praise the Lord brother! You are preaching to the choir.
