There's nothing illegal that I can see about this type of hemet so long as it passes all the other criteria(NOCSAE symbol, etc, etc.). And in a way he's probably right about the team/individual thing. And in an even larger issue, he is the man we negotiate our contracts with, so I don't really have a problem enforcing this.
Just wondering, does anyone else has this type of local rule in regards to helmets?

Talking to the wrong people. That individual needs to be talking to the teams, not the umpire.
