I would think that if umpires commonly wore this combo that it would still be viewed as a "helmet" by the umpiring community, whereas a mask worn with a hat would be viewed as "traditional."
Let me put it this way. When the mask can be completely detached from the helmet, I consider that very traditional. And the picture showed above is not the same contraption that you see that players where when they are not using the HSM. I know you want to just have a debate over a very semantic issue. So if you do not know what traditional means in the context of this conversation, then so be it.
