Page 19 of the NFHS 2008 and 2009 Umpires Manual has the following:
A mask with a throat protector is required in FP...
The inside-style chest protector and leg guards are strongly recommended in both FP & SP.
Shoes should be solid black with no white or colored markings.
A ball bag is mandatory for the plate umpire.
The fitted cap shall be navy blue and is mandatory for all umpires. The fitted cap shall never be worn backwards.
Male umpires shall wear a protective cup.
So there are some clear requirements and some strong suggestions.
