Polo Blue Shirts?

[HuskerUmp22]

I am looking to buy a couple polo blue shirts for this upcoming summer season. I need a small and the honig's small are out of stock. I was looking at smitty shirts, but none of them say polo blue. 

 

Is the light blue with black trim (mlb) the same as polo blue on this website?

Not seeing them side-by-side makes it difficult to see the difference.

Thanks guys!

Smitty calls it Columbia Blue

What other colors would you guys recommend for summer legion baseball? I'm debating between navy, cream, or grey to go along with the polo blue. I have several black already.

if you work with someone a lot, and do tourneys, you can add what you want .....but if not, ...the base colors would be cream.  Gray is also a nice alternative

Smitty shirts DO NOT match honigs shirts . It's a bad look .

for what color?

[HuskerUmp22]

So you are saying that because I normally where honigs shirts that I shouldn't get smitty?

Have used these guys on numerous occasions.  http://www.fifthregionofficials.com/honigs-pro-style-umpire-shirt/

No ...

That info isn't correct.   Smitty has 2 powder blues w/ black collars ....one is Polo the other is "light blue" w/ a black collar....  the Polo most definately matches the Honigs

[NWA_UMP]

I have a Honigs and  Smitty in what we College Powder. Polo Blue w/black collar....if I'm careful I will pull the Honigs out of my bag instead of the Smitty. I have to look at the fabric to tell the difference! Color is IDENTICAL.

Cream is popular where I am during the hot summer months.  Too bad for me that I hate the look.  But guess what color shirts I just ordered form Honig's?  *sigh*

White is pretty popular around here. I'd go with what the majority of your fellow umpires have.

If you work with a consistent partner in the summer like I do, check out this site and you can order 2 in a lot of colors.  I think my partner and I have 14 matching shirts.  Here you go:

Dang this thread, I just ordered 2 new shirts!

Cream. I've seen lots of guys sporting them in their cars lately. Not a lot have gray yet, but that's my next purchase. There are still a few of the older guys that only have Navy, so grab one of those to have for "those" guys. Smalls Smitty's you can grab on Amazon for less than 10 if you keep an eye on the site as the prices can change daily. If you need any Navy small jackets hit me up, I have two new with tags Smalls for sale ( a solid Navy and a red shouldered)

Good info. Thanks

Haha! My fault. 

[Tksjewelry]

I've been ordering two of all my shirts lately. I order a small for myself and a large to have for partners. I worked with a few high rated umps that do this and I learned it from them when I first started as they would always throw me a shirt because all I had was light blue and Navy. I wish we would start telling guys to buy the black first. Luckily I carry a few black jackets and an extra shirt as I had an only navy partner tonight.

I ordered two of the camo also from the officials choice. UIC is going to give me the "the look" and growl at me when he sees them. Lol. I live for making him nuts!

Where in the heck do you get a grey shirt? Not that I would ever buy one...

 

We are quickly transitioning to two shirts, Black MLB and Sky Blue MLB from Honigs....only two we will use due to light weight and very comfortable fit. Eliminates NAVY anything in our gear bags.

Smitty and Dalco both make a grey shirt.

I'm all about going away from Navy and traditional powder. Those were fine 15 years ago. Not now.
