Have a Safe and Happy New Year

The above "bad call" photo - that our new creative director, Amanda Tricase, decided would look good on a holiday greeting card (and it does) - is a sneak peek at an upcoming marketing campaign you'll find only in your packaged umpire order (starting soon) that takes a humorous look on what not to wear and how not to wear it.

You'll find something different in your box each month, during the first half of 2011. For now, you can think beer ad, but for officials' sporting goods and without the beer.

But even though we are clowning around a bit, we are serious about hoping you have a safe and very Happy New Year!

More about the guy in the photo later.
