In my area with ASA tournaments, ASA shirts are expected to be worn. Newer umpires get away with plain powder blue while they get set up and if we need 80-90 umpires you can get away with it. For the most part, you are expected to be in at least ASA shirt and hat as part of your uniform. Fech's are recommended but not overly pushed at regular tournies. For established "national level" umpires, you are expected to be in proper uniform at all times and an example.
