This one is a black one. This one should sell. I thought the other one was blue. Or at least it appears to be black.

I thought I would add this on the forum. My buddy actually has two nike masks available. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nike-Titanium-Catchers-Umpire-Mask-/280738345333?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item415d4f3175#ht_500wt_1156

Also, I can get the Japanese Mizuno masks from my buddy who lives in Tokyo. He is a minor league umpire and former Japanese Professional Umpire. Let me know if you are interested. I will try and get a price to find out what he can do.

What about Mizuno plate shoes?

Does anyone know someone who uses this mask? What has been their experience with it?

I have looked at a couple, it's really hard to pry them out of the hands of D1 F2's to look at them!

Is it really worth our time and $$$ to buy and use it?

What mizuno mask is it? Is there somewhere I can get a picture? Thanks

it's been reported that the Mizuno and Nike mask look almost identical, ....without the price! :)

I do think that is the case. I think there are several MLB catchers that are under contract by Mizuno but are using a Nike frame with Mizuno pads ( Brian McCann is one)

There are a few different Mizuno's out there. The Titanium with is about $350 US looks like this:

Then there is the other hats around $150 that looks like this: Some get it with out the built in throat guard and add the spider throat guard:

How light are they compared to the titaniums?
