John:
The NFHS Umpire Manual (the book that Rich throws away without reading every other year when it is distributed) requires NON-pleated pants. The same manual also says that Elbecos are still an option for shirt selection.
In Oregon we work "Oregon Modified Mechanics" (i.e. straight CCA) and we allow ANY mixture of pant and shirt colors (oops, RED is not allowed at any FED game). We have a HUGE problem with different colored pants (even at the State Championship finals).
I also remember at one time Alabama require high school umpires were required to have a "Feccheimer" label on all their baseball umpire game pants.
Regards,
