SL Pullovers

[Astrosdawg07]

Does anyone wear these things

I really like the idea, but I haven't seen anyone wearing anything like this in my area.

I know some guys that have bought them but I haven't. I will get a couple of LS shirts first.

I'm with MST....I have 2 Long Sleeve shirts...Navy and Black to cover the in between temps....and the Navy and Black jackets for when its cold .....

IMHO, Those pullovers remind me of the players BP tops and just dont seem to be very professional looking....

[Ump Rube]

I think they are a good idea when 1 guy in the crew is cold (read: pansy) and others are not, but want to look simillar. I seems to me that MLB has moved to this zip-off style and away from the full jacket. BTW, it is a zip-off sleeve so you can wear it SS or LS. I like them, wish I had one.

And I think thats another of my problems with them as well.....Its been a hard enough time getting some association members to pony up for the regular jacket....I am a stickler for being uniform....and I know if I bought one of these, I'd be the only one wth one.

What does "SL" stand for?

Wait - I know - "Sh*tty Looking".

with the smocks.

[Mr Umpire]

Is it me or does it look like the umpire has no bottom teeth and Yost is ready to knock out some more?

[Mr Umpire]

I think the design looks horrible and is very unprofessional looking. I agree that it does look like a warm-up jacket. The players don't wear their warm-up jackets during the game so why are the umpires?

It looks bad and is definitely one which needs to go away just like the cream shirts. Those things are too close to the color of the baseball, look horrible during the game, and are not any cooler in 90 degree weather than a dark shirt. And, I speak from experience on this since I am in the south. Hot is hot and I don't care what color your shirt is. These things will be brown by the end of the game.

In our area it is short sleeve shirts either navy blue or powder blue or long sleeve jacket. Nothing else. And crew must match except plate ump who has option of jacket or not.

Edit before someone pipes in ... heather grey pants !!

I really like them actually.. I plan on getting one next year. They're good for the bases.. I'd probably keep it short sleeve like that on a brisk day..

:shrug:

Interesting..."they look unprofessional"...but they are only worn by the professionals!?!?:bang:

[Astrosdawg07]

just bought one, I think it will be great for windy and rainy days. Got the black one, don't wear navy enough to buy it. I can also see myself wearing it while working the plate, it is easier to clean.

[Mr Umpire]

Well, I believe and hope it is just a fad. They tried gray shirts and those didn't last and haven't seemed to find their way into the amateur world. I hope these go away just as fast. I doubt they will though b/c I have already called with someone who had one. It looked like he was trying to warm-up for the game or something as he was taking runners to 2B.:shakehead:

[Astrosdawg07]

I know they big Sky conference uses them. Theirs are unlike any I've seen before though, they look like the MLB jacket w/ the powder and white trim on the shoulders, except they are SSL.

[Astrosdawg07]

The base umpires are wearing the Honig's SSL pullover in the Virginia LSU game.

[daled]

I too like the look. I respect the fact that many do not like them and I will only wear one if the associations I work with decides to accept them as part of our official uniform.

[Watch the Ball]

I just got mine in and find it to be the perfect difference between the long sleeve jacket and short sleeve shirt. I'll admitt the do look like a batting practice jacket but they are comfortable and very usefull for New England weather.

[Astrosdawg07]

I guess these falls into state association uniform code for Fed?

[Umpire in Chief]

FED 10-1-9 mandates grey slacks, but the navy shirt is by state adoption, so check what your local state allows.

I just bought one with the MBUA logo on it from honigs. It'll take 2 weeks for the logo to be embroidered on it.. this year has been very weird with the weather and there's been a lot of days I've wished I've had it.

I'll give my review when I get it in a couple weeks.

Okay received mine last week and wore it to a game the next day I got it. I have to say it's definitely very comfortable to wear! And also worth the money on a 'cool' but not 'cold' night. It also gave me good motion to do the punch the midget out move.

I recommend people to buy one of these if you live in New England (or any area like the crazy weather we have in the summer). Also to size down if you order from honigs.. My medium is more like a large, but it's still good.
