UNLESS you're working NHIAA high school games. If you wear a T-shirt under the powder blue shirt, it must be navy blue.

Doesn't NCAA and MLB do this color combination?

I'd prefer white under powder blue, but, when in Rome...

I don't work a ton of NCAA games, but when I do, they love to wear navy. I went to a camp here in AZ and it was just under 100F...everyone wanted to wear navy on the field even though it was hotter than hell. I can think of one excellent umpire in particular who probably doesn't even own a powder shirt any more (not naming names). When forced to wear powder shirts, navy undershirts seem to be all the rage.

Personally, I like navy under powder when I work the bases. I wear white undershirts if that's what my partner is wearing. When I am on the plate I wear white, as no one will see it anyway.

You won't catch me dead wearing red.

In the two college conferences (1 NCAA and 1 NAIA) that Mark, Jr., umpires in, the supervisor requires powder blue with white undershirt and heather gray pants.

The NCAA uniform is powder over Navy. Navy is a cleaner, more forgiving color. And please do not bring the temp into the discussion, it is the material and construction of the pants that will make the difference not the color.
