The rules allow that glove unless the UMPIRE finds that logo or writing distracting. In my opinion, you did exactly what the losing coach wanted; you allowed him/her to create something to attempt to get in the head of the pitcher.

IF IT DIDN'T DISTRACT YOU WITHOUT THE COACH COMPLAINING, HOW DID IT DISTRACT YOU AFTER??
