Hi everyone,
I was thinking back to last season and remembered that there was a mass order done through Home Run Sports where clothing was delivered around the time of the Blues Tournament. Will this be happening again this year?
Would you recommend having both sets of umpiring clothing? Currently I only have the light shirt/dark pants outfit; should I invest in the dark shirt/light pants alternative?
Seeing the new 1/4 Zip Jacket that Softball Canada has recently put out is going to be the standard for the 2015 Canadian Championships, do you think it will be the standard for future years’ Championships? Is it worth the investment instead of buying the discounted ‘old’ jackets?
Thanks,
Mark
April 22, 2015 at 8:23 pm #70941Yes, I will prepare a large order prior to Blues Tournament this year. Stay tuned for more info..
The Navy Blue Shirt and Grey Pants are still only an “Alternative” uniform, and not a replacement for powder blues. If you plan on doing big tournaments, the it would be good to have. You don’t need it for local ball or most provincials.
As for the new jacket, it replaces the old jacket at all Canadian Championships. Will it ever get replaced? Sure. But not in the foreseeable future. Same answer. The old jacket is fine for local and provincial tournaments. It is only required for Canadian Championships.
I’d wait to see how people like the new jackets vs the old jackets before buying one. Maybe the old jackets are better for cold nights..
