Question about TW Pads

[WES2006AG]

Has anyone blacked out the white part on the bottom pad on the Team Wendy's. if so what did you use? I was thinking about using a Sharpie but figured I'd ask first.

[kylejt]

Why would you do that, other than to match MLB umpires, who need to do that to keep Wilson happy?

[JHSump]

And I did see an MLB umpire using TW Pads (back in 2012, on a Saturday Fox broadcast), and the white TW lettering was not blacked out.  I don't remember who it was.  It is certainly a very small set of lettering.

[WES2006AG]

Because Team Wendy doesn't have a cool logo like Wilson or Nike.

[JHSump]

They have a cool product.  Why not leave their logo in place?  

[BigUmpire]

Plate umpire in the Braves game on sunday was wearing Team Wendy pads.

Not blacked out.

[Thunderheads]

Lots of guys are wearing TW pads and leaving the logo showing.

 

You think Wilson has a cool logo?

[BigUmpire]

Remember when Joe West was promoting his new vest and had his jerseys modified(opend up) to show the WV logo?

Funny!

Wes,

 

I ask this in all seriousness: Why mess with perfection?

I saw that too!

I would not be surprised if it was the same Fox affiliate that we were watching!

[WES2006AG]

Nevermind, I guess there are no members on this board who have blacked out their pads. I will just experiment on my own.

Team Wendy pads may be the best protection on the market but they are not the best looking. I figured I would try to improve their appearence by covering up their hideous logo.

I have TW pads. The logo is so small why worry. Got any white on your shoes?

I have NB 460s with a tiny bit of white and the all black Zig plate shoes (although I think I'm going to sell them, they are a little too tight)

[BigUmpire]

Worry more about white on you shoes than your mask. Sharpie time followed by polish.

[BalkHawk]

I have white on my shoes; I haven't slept in weeks.

I doubt anyone other than the umpire groupies on here would even notice - heck I have the pads (but not with me of course) and I couldn't even tell you if they had a logo or not - or where it was or what it looked like etc.

Same problem, same shoes, except I think they have too much black.
