Question regarding sleeve color

[IceGator8]

I was wondering if there are any regional differences between what's ok as far as sleeve color.

Last night my plate ump (who moved into our association from another place) made a pitcher take off his white Underarmour long sleeve undershirt at the opposing coaches request. I didn't challenge my partners decision because half the team was wearing white undershirts and the other half black. We all know that the sleeves of the undergarment must be uniform in color.

My partner stated that if one person on a team is going to wear an undergarment with sleeves then everyone else on the team has to wear them. Our local interp has always been that the players who wear a long sleeved undergarment must wear the same color but it's ok if if a player chooses not to wear the undergarment thus leaving his arms bare.

Anyway, I told him I'd take his argument to the board and get some opinions.

Thanks,

Eric

Rule 1-4-2: If the pitcher's undershirt sleeves are exposed, they shall not be white or gray.

That's FED isn't it? What about OBR?

Not sure on OBR... should have stated that I was responding for FED rules.

OBR - no restrictions except uniform color.

LL cannot wear long white sleeves.

NCAA cannot wear white.

Are teams considered to not be in compliance when some players elect not to wear the sleeves?

[TussAgee11]

Yes, as long as what they wear is in complience with others on their team. i.e. everyone must wear a specific color undershirt if they choose to wear an undershirt.

So if Player A is wearing stirrups, and player B has his pants over his shoes, there is no problem.

Yes they are.
