The Ripper

Brian has retired.

I wear a Nike titanium mask and before this year, I usually rock with the team Wendy pads. But now that they discontinued and everything I was on the market for a new pad and discovered some Rawlings pads. I knew there were similar to Nike pads, but they were just without the Nike logo. I got them in about two months ago and very impressed on how similar they are to the Nike pads, to me all that is different was the logo. I eventually took off the Rawlings red patch on the front and it looks a lot cleaner just the black pad. I think it looks better without the Nike swish too if you're not a big logos guy. Overall, I would probably recommend the Rawlings pads if you like Nike pads they are very similar in my opinion. They also are very comfortable with one of the most comfortable pads I think too. Overall, I would go for which had you feel are the most comfortable and protective.

I think @Whosyourcaddy can help.

Got some red Nike pads for sell. From former catcher who I bought a Nike from. Shoot me an offer or I would be more than willing to trade.

Suggestion #3 is ridiculous. Umpiring a 9 inning game 2/3 times in 7 days is a ridiculous ask, I know MILB guys have to do it. I could not disagree more, hitters have to get a hit 30% of the time to be in the HOF and umpires miss one pitch and everyone rips them for it. Harper needs to worry about being a player and let the umpires umpire that game.

I just got this Rawlings Coolflo Plate helmet in... and love it. In my opinion, it looks the best of the other plate helmets. I saw MLB umpires wear it, but there are none wearing the skully. The bill of the helmet is short enough, were I have no problem in removing the mask. I would highly recommend this one.

Hi everyone. I want to buy a Nike made before 2016 with the extended bars. After reading MadMax's post on the differences between Nikes made before and after 2016, I became very interested in getting one before 2016. I have posted some photos below of the Nike I want vs the others. Thanks! Nike I want ( before 2016): Other Nike (after 2016):

Hi everyone. Quick post but wanted to ask if this was a real and good site? I have just never heard of it. It looks pretty good to me but wanted confirmation. Thanks! https://umpjunksa.com

Let me know!

Wow, very fascinating!!! Wish I had it, so I could send you those measurements. Real cool stuff, I have a Nike, I guess, from the 2016 to 2019 timeframe. I definitely saw a difference in my Nike and others. I wrote this topic on a similar topic: (Definitely less detailed) Also if anyone has a “Pre 2016” Nike, that they want to sell, I “may” pay a pretty penny for it. Thanks.
