Ok folks, just have to get this off my chest since I recently received the Wilson Low-Profile mask in the mail. Not a serious gripe...just wanted to get some opinions to see if they are similar to mine. The Wilson mask itself is awesome...great protection, great view....but for the love of God,
WHY DID THEY HAVE TO PLASTER THAT MLB LOGO ALL OVER THE DAMN THING????
Maybe I'm just being too fragile here, but having gone through the Evans academy in 2001 and seeing their take on non-MLB umpires brandishing the "big-boy uniforms/equipment," I just don't understand why that feedback didn't find its way into Wilson's design process.
Yes, I know the pads and harness can easily be replaced with non-logo versions, but who really wants to buy a new mask, only to replace 2/3 of it before even wearing it once??
Any thoughts??
