Umpire uniform violation

[UmpireErnie]

Here our state USA softball management team works closely with the state HS activities association to train and provide umpires for HS games. The state does not issue any type of uniform logo or patch. Because basically every high school umpire is also a USA Softball umpire the "powers that be" have given us permission to use USA Softball apparel at HS games.

Part of the rational is that our HS season is short in Alaska, and this allows us to avoid having to buy both USA logo items and no logo items.

In our state in fast pitch the default is the dark blue shirt with grey slacks but we can use the navy blue shirts and dark blue pants so long as crew matches. We also will use the ASA/USA red shirts that honor Veterans on Friday night games at the crew's discretion.

We do play by NFHS rules during HS season so technically we are ignoring 10-4-2. You can feel free to issue us a Team Warning.
