2 color Pitcher's glove

[bobbrix]

A coach called me to complain that an umpire made his Pitcher change gloves to one of solid color, because her's was Black+Brown (certainly in style with the girls this year).

I told him I wouldn't call a Black+Brown glove illegal and then read him the rule followed by informing him of a classic "do as we say, not as we do".

Our rule book states that a Pitcher's glove must be one solid color and that colour may not be white or grey.

BUT !!!!!

The photo on the FRONT COVER of our 2003-2004 RULE BOOK
proudly displays a national team female pitcher, mid-pitch, with, of course, a Brown+Black glove !!!

So, there you go, clear as mud.

I called the director of our district and he sent me an email stating Black+Brown is ok, but Black+White or Brown+White would not be.

What do the various American rules say about multi-color pitching gloves??
