Was kind of surprised to see this in yesterday's Sox-Twins game.

Major fashion faux pas which I also am guilty of sometimes. Probably wearing it due to WX. But what color sun protection undershirt should I wear? Match my shirt or skin color.

I think it was for cold protection. Looked to be a chilly day there.

 

It blended well and wasn't too noticeable. I looked a couple times before I was sure.

Scandalous.

I'd cut the guy some slack – the temperature likely dropped lower than what was forecast. From the look of the new 2017 ThermaBase jackets (with those Sky Blue shoulders and flank accents, treí shiek) they are very trim, and aren't intended for plate work. Probably far too insulating, too. Eddings likely didn't travel with a long sleeve plate shirt, and didn't have his plate coat on hand (if he even uses one).

But hey, it looks a helluva lot more acceptable than a HS umpire wearing a black long-sleeve undershirt under that state-mandated navy shirt!!

Totally agree. We got some similar weather and it dropped a ton. Shoot, two weeks ago, in 8 games/6 day stretch, I wore:

 

the short sleeve shirt

Long sleeve shirt

convertible without sleeves

convertible with sleeves

heavy jacket with layers

 

I just thought it was funny given how much umpires discuss that combo

I'd imagine they get their uniforms/equipment transported for them at that level, no?
