My assumption is that the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference has recognized and approved USA Softball of Connecticut to train and assign softball umpires. I don't believe this necessarily means that USA SB uniforms are to be worn when working HS games in CT.
Our local umpire association executive board is of the opinion that since we use the USA Softball insurance, we are obligated to wear the logo when umpiring HS softball. I live near the edge of the geographic area my association covers, however, and the umpires I see from other associations wear blank hats and plain blues, with no logos at all.
