Our first base coach was wearing a red ussa baseball wind breaker the other night at my son's game. The umpires were wearing their black fall colors, when some other softball umpire in red, told him to take off that jacket...he told him "NO". First of all he didn't know this guy from Adam, secondly he was officiating the boy's baseball game and thirdly it is a free country. Seemed like this softball umpire took his position a little too far, what's your guy's opinion?

Your first base coach is a USSSA umpire?
Wearing part of his uni at a game in which USSSA umpires are working?

Was the "other" umpire his assignor or UIC?

If it was me, I'd never wear part of my associations apparel, coaching (nor playing), in a game in which that association is working.

Just doen't look right, especially if your the visiting team, undefeated, and came from the next state.

Might just put a little unneeded "extra pressure" on the crew working?
