Good day, My name is Michael Riha and I'm the GM for VF Licensed Sports Group / Team Majestic. As most of you know, we're the on-field supplier for MLB Umpires. We're currently in an over stock position on some of our Umpiring apparel and we're looking to move this to one or more of our dealers or retailers around the country. But I would also like to look at moving this product to companies that you may support. Can you please let me know where you currently purchase your Umpiring apparel. I would like to know the following information. Company Name Contact Name Address City, State, Zip Telephone Number If they're not a current VF LSG customer we talk with them about having an open account status. Thank you in advance for your quick response. You can send your response to my attention at Michael_Riha@vfc.com. Thanks again!

Hello from VF LSG/Majestic: Over the past few months there has been a lot of discussion about having the ability to purchase the Majestic 1JU0 Therma Base Umpiring Jacket with blk/wht/blk/wht/blk rib knit inserts on the shoulder. In the very new future, Majestic dealers will have the opportunity to place prebook orders for this jacket. We'll also offer this jacket in Navy with nav/wht/col/wht/nav rib knit inserts. This last options is being discussed for use at the collegiate level. Our nationwide network of Team Dealers and Umpiring Specialty Stores will contacted concerning this offering in the next few months. Since these will not be stocked, it will be important that you get your order into your dealer before July 1, 2011. These jackets are imported and we have minimum production numbers that have to be hit. If we get enough orders for these jackets we can have them built. It takes a total of 5 months to get these jackets in. Once they're received at Majestic, we'll do a thorough QC check to ensure that they meet our rigid specifications. Upon completion of this audit, we'll have them ready to ship. Our intent would be to have these ready to ship to dealers by 1/1/2012. We've taken your recommendations to heart and we want to offer you the best Umpiring apparel in the industry. We appreciate you support and be sure to get your orders in by July 1, 2011. Unfortunately orders placed after that date won't be honored. Details of this program will be communicated to team dealers, retailers and Umpiring Specialty stores by May 1, 2011.
