New Mizuno Pants

[AL-Ump]

Ump Attire has a new item:

https://www.ump-attire.com/Products/MZ128-CH/Mizuno-Charcoal-Grey-Flat-Front-Umpire-Plate-Pants-with-Expander-Waistband

Kinda big logo, not sure how I feel about my butt being a billboard.  Flat fronts are the "in" thing for softball - is it catching on for baseball too?

Thoughts?

As a Mizuno fan (2 pairs of umpire shoes!), and a Real Man of Carriage...I find their offerings...size-ist. Sub-optimal...

Agree on the logo. Way too big and visible. I love the flat fronts and have been wearing them working baseball the last two seasons. I wish these didn't have the expander waistband.

you look pretty svelte to me in this late 1990's photo where you digitally added a mustache that you were not allowed back then. how about a new updated picture in uniform like the old one, of your self proclaimed porky pig current status.

Is it the slimmer look, a comfort aspect, both?

Look at this nice, curved belly.

just looks like one of those old or new fangled bulky and protruding/puffed out version chest protectors to me.
