In Rule 10, no. That said, I challenge youto wear one at an ASA National. I can promise you that the "official" uniform requirements says the hat must be sized for all male and female umpires.

Using your same challenge, show me in Rule 10 that pants must be from ASA Properties, that, western cut pockets are preferred to standard slit, that pleats are unacceptable, that "Dockers" style pants aren't approved navy blue slacks, that a navy blue T-shirt is worn under the navy blue uniform shirtor that kitchen timers may not be hung on the fence??

Right; somethings are done because they are universally accepted as the "official" uniform. The fitted hat is the approved hat for championship play.
