Documentation on A.S.A. Umpire Dress Code
I've looked high and low, emailed and called ASA officials and have yet to get an answer other than "it's just a known fact". After seeing some of the items worn a weekend or two ago, I would say that it's not that well known.
Where can I find written documentation of the official ASA Umpire dress code for championship play? I'm looking for information on Indiana but anything would be great. |
ASA Rule 10-5.
But, you should also check with your state commissioner and your local umpire association. |

Have you checked with your Indiana UIC? and not to open a can of worms... but is there something you wear/want to wear that you have been told you cant wear in championship play? |

"High and low" indeed. |

and to answer one of the questions above, it's not something that I want to wear, it's things that I don't want to see. I do wish that it mandated the western cut pockets though, I hate seeing the pocket liners of "business casual" slacks. |

Yes, I wear the ASA Fechheimer pants when calling the local coed C league. The majority of them don't realize I'm doing it, but there may be that one person who spots it and appreciates it. Treat every game you call as though it's the best level around. |

So for the past 4 or 5 years, I've made it a point to pick a few things to improve upon every season. Last year, one of those items was my appearance. I shaved more frequently. I polished my shoes nightly. My uniform was 100% ASA with no exceptions. Last year, I had significantly fewer troubles than any other year in the past. |
I'm in agreement with everything that's been said. --duh--
My next step is to email Wayne and see if he has anything mandated... specifically the Fechheimer pants and...(This next part should clue those of you slow pitch guys that were at the Nat. School in Bloomington IN who I am and what I'm talking about)...the shoes with ugly white logos/stripes on them. |

Also, not everything that ASA sells is approved equipment (sadly). They sell the powder blue shirts and the navy hats without the ASA log on them, for example. Quote:

Just a note, and I'm sure it is will be viewed by some as biased, but IMO, ASA's Fechheimer pants are pretty high quality and competitively priced.
I have yet to have a pair last less than 5 years and I do wear them off the field as well as on. |

Not to mention the fact that if I want to call another National, I don't have much of a choice. ;) |
