Well, I've seen umpires from NY wear hats, jackets and shirts with NY specific logos while not even in NY. And even better, they wear baseball associations for softball games. I've seen guys wear high school uniforms out of association (and for multiple sports, including basketball and football). This isn't a problem unique to ASA logo gear. ASA may be more prevalent, but it is far from unique.
My point: It says more about the umpire rather than an association.
