Additional Notes from Umpire Committee
ASA Properties
New pull-over jacket with two thin powder blue stripes on the shoulder. Elastic waistband. Water repellent, but geared more toward wind resistant. Zippers from neck to chest with a "pouch" pocket in front. With or without logo is available. This is a jacket, not just a shell. These seem to be a little heavier than the present jacket.
Shirt will stay the same. They are testing a new material which is a lighter pattern but may not hold up.
Diamond Umpire Field Bag for use on the fence or backstop. You can find this on www.officialgear.com
Rule Book
The rule book and umpire manual may come in this year in two separate publications. At the same time, there will be only one rule book, not an umpire and team edition
