To start, at any level it is none of the local umpire's association business, no matter what age the players may be. It is up the to leagues and rules makers.
Secondly, as far as adults are concerned, if it isn't something that can hurt another player (i.e., large ring, watch, bracelet), who cares? If is it something that can only hurt them, that's their issue. They are supposed to be adults.
If the leagues want to rule otherwise, that is their business and the player is voluntarily placing themselves under those rules which I would enforce.
