Ump Uniform Title

Ump pic Umpire uniform apparel is available from several vendors. Links to a variety of equipment vendors are available on the Links of Interest page.

CAPS: Caps will be navy blue fitted wool (New Era Style) with the TBUA emblem on the front. When you are the plate umpire, you will wear your hat under your mask, bill facing forward.

SHIRTS: All members must have the Navy pullover umpire shirt, which is the default color. Members may also choose shirts from three optional colors: Powder Blue, Cream, or Red (The Powder Blue comes in two styles of trim: Red/White/Navy and White/Navy. The Red/White/Navy trim is recommended). The optional colors may be worn only if the entire crew has the same color. Shirt examples.

T-SHIRTS: Under the Navy pullover, the T-shirt may be red or blue; under the powder blue or cream pullovers, navy or white; under the red pullover, red or white. The same color rule applies if a turtleneck or mock turtleneck is worn under the pullover. All base umpires will wear the same color T-shirts.

BELTS: Black leather, flat, not woven.

PANTS: All umpire pants shall be heather gray. Pants are available from an umpire equipment vendor. The plate umpire should wear pants that have enough leg room to hide the shin guards worn under the pants (plate or combo slacks are recommended). Base or combo slacks should be worn worn when working the bases.

BALL BAGS: Bags will be navy or medium heather gray, same as the pants. They will be of a material similar to the pants. If two are worn, they will be the same color: if one has a logo, the other will have the same logo. Bags are worn directly over the side belt loops, never to the front or rear. Ball bags are never worn on the bases.

SOCKS: Black.

SHOES: Must be predominately black with any trim being white. Shoelaces will be black. Steel-toed plate shoes are recommended behind the plate. Shoes are to be shined before entering the field of play.

INCLEMENT WEATHER GEAR: The navy blue v-neck nylon pullover with the red, white and blue trim or the gray and white trim is authorized. Wear whatever it takes to keep warm under the pullover in extreme cold weather for this area (i.e.: long underwear, red sweatshirts, turtlenecks, etc.). If ski caps or gloves are necessary, wear a dark color (navy or black).
