Mothers' Day Umpire Items with Carnation Motif
In 2021, "NPB Mothers' Day" was first held, where players used pink wristbands and bats to express gratitude to their mothers. In conjunction with this event, umpires have also worn pink umpire items exclusively for this day since 2021 for caps and 2023 for shirts.
The 2026 model umpire shirt features a pink carnation motif, symbolizing "gratitude" in the language of flowers, and is designed with "Thank You" in the native languages of NPB 2025 season players. Five different "Thank You" phrases, such as "Gracias (Spanish)" and "Dekuj (Czech)," are arranged. It achieves excellent breathability and lightness with the latest sublimation printing technology, while vividly reproducing complex graphics. A special pink NPB logo patch, unique to this day, is placed on the chest, making it a fitting garment for Mothers' Day.
In terms of functionality, it adopts a zipper type that allows easy donning and doffing even while wearing an inside protector. The highly functional polyester material with excellent sweat absorption and quick-drying properties supports the umpire's intense movements and ensures comfortable wear.
