Jay R,
Our local league provides the umpire equipment for the young/new umpires, but not the apparel.
Catching an umpiring check has allowed some of them to buy their own stuff, to upgrade the equipment they use. Having your own stuff is a big ego boost.
If you look good, you feel good, you work good.
Good luck with umpin' !
