Let me stand corrected. My research has shown that up until the 2006 season, the gray ball bags were acceptable with a blue shirt at the NCAA level. However, I have never worn gray, and cannot remember anyone at the NCAA level and above wearing them. I asked a question that was not answered....How many guys have you seen wearing gray bags at upper levels of the game? Dave says that Gray is acceptable at the MLB level, has anyone seen an umpire at the MLB level wearing gray (in the last 15 years)?
I still stand by my original statement that you should not wear black bags with a blue shirt, and vice-versa.
