I always wear the navy bags, although it appears that gray is acceptable. I believe ASA has approved heather gray bags to be used with the heather gray pants this year.

Did you happen to read the manual???
Either way, in this case, it seems like the real issue is what does your State (or even local if you aren't doing post season games) association say.
