From the USSSA Rulebook:
Sec.7. A. At all national and world qualifying tournaments, teams must wear identical uniforms. This includes jerseys, long pants or shorts and leggings. Whether long pants or shorts are worn, all team members must be uniformed alike. Caps are optional, however when worn they must be all alike and worn with the bill forward.
B. Non duplicating numbers will be required at all national and World Series qualifying tournaments. The numbers must be minimum of three inches in size and clearly visible.
Notice that the only requirement there for uniforms is at national and world qualifiers, and at all National and World tournaments. I do not have my ASA book with me at work, but I am sure that someone else will come along soon and supply that rule.
However, under USSSA rules, unless this tournament you are referring was one of the tournaments listed in the rule quoted, the umpire was correct.
