Jackets & Apparel

Summer days bring the heat but evenings often bring a chill. Be prepared for whatever the weather throws at you with well-made apparel and jackets.

Start with a standard umpire shirt but don’t settle for basic. Find one that’s well constructed and made to last. A little style never hurts, so be on the lookout for details that elevate your umpire shirt to the next level.

A good jacket is an umpire’s best friend. Perfect for layering; put it on when things get cool, take it off when the action heats up. Your jacket is likely the most versatile piece of your umpire gear. Look for one that is made of durable materials with useful pockets and features. Good styling goes a long way here as well.

The 3N2 Umpire Polo features classic styling that will always look great: The 3-button style is a standard among umpires. 100% polyester textured mesh is a versatile fabric that can help you keep your cool or will work well with layers to warm you up. Extended tail and side vents are modern touches that add comfort. The left chest pocket is a convenient place to hold your lineup card.

The brand new Umpire Coldstrike Jacket is made to handle the coldest Northern climates so you can stay warm when temperatures drop. This full-zip jacket features double hand warming pockets to ensure your signals will be on point. A fleece lining is soft, warm, and comfortable. A soon-to-be favorite, this jacket is built to last with tough materials and durable construction.

A staple in any umpire’s wardrobe, a half-zip jacket is comfortable, stylish, and versatile. 3N2’s Umpire Half-Zip Jacket is all of the above and then some. The microfiber shell is soft to the touch while providing warmth. A stand-up collar offers a touch of style. The oversized fit makes this a comfortable jacket that layers well.

 

Umpire Bags

You’ll need a way to pack your favorite umpire gear and 3N2 has the bags that will get you to the game in style. From a ball bag to keep on you during the game to a nice big roller that’ll take you wherever you want to go, a 3N2 umpire bag is just what you’re looking for.

The 3N2 Umpire Ball Bag is made of heavy-duty material that can hold up for many seasons. Double stitching and a PVC coating on the back add to the durability while two inside pockets have plenty of space to hold extra balls, your indicator, and your plate brush. Two belt loops make it easy to attach to any standard umpire belt.

3N2’s Big Bag is all you’ll ever need in an umpire bag. Simple and straightforward with just enough bells and whistles to get the job done, the Big Bag makes it easy to pack up and go. A huge interior compartment is roomy enough for whatever you’re packing while two zippered side compartments offer a place to keep your smaller items organized and easy to find. A padded shoulder strap and roller wheels give you the versatility to either roll or carry your stuff. 600-denier polyester and bottom rails help make this bag tough enough to hold up to season-after-season wear and tear.
