For as long as I can remember, the KHSAA worked exclusively with one vendor. If I had a quarter for every time I heard a KHSSA official say "when are you guys going to have that contract?", I'd have some good pocket change.
Well, the answer is now! We are now a licensed dealer for KHSAA officials!!! Needless to say, we are very excited to be able to serve the 4,500 Kentucky officals with ALL their apparel needs.
It's not a an exclusive contract. It shouldn't be. Officials don't like to be told where to shop. There will be three licensed apparel retailers, of which, we will be one.
We have some work to do though. Baseball and softball seasons are fast approaching. As this a recent development, we are just are now ordering embroidered hats, shirts and jackets. We hope to have stock for baseball/softball within two and a half weeks then have items available in other sports.
Special thanks to Angela Passiufume, assistant commissioner, who I met with at KHSAA headquarters in Lexington this past Friday to discuss details, and Julian Tackett, commissioner, for placing faith in us to serve their officials.
But more so, thanks to all the officials who have called, e-mailed and talked face-to-face with the powers-that-be at the KHSAA for the last several years and who put in a kind word on our behalf.
Any questions, don't hesitate. More information will be coming to you soon at a section of our website just for you at www.ump-attire.com/khsaa/.

How about an OHSAA licensed agreement for the Umpires from up North. Thanks
Its a great place to shop and the staff is friendly, helpful, and knows their products. I enjoy stopping by and picking up what I need. Plus its just four or five blocks away from my home. Keep up the good work!
