2 Tone Glove

Yes, I was in on that discussion and came away with the impression that a black and tan glove could go either way.

I am not familiar with dyes but assume it would involve soaking the glove in some manner or the other or applying a pretty thick coat of liquid to make it take.

Dunno, thats why I asked.

Coach,

Black and tan gloves are OK.

If you want to dye a glove, it is pretty easy and does not add weight to the glove.

Redbird -
Don't just assume that black and tan gloves are okay. About 4 weeks ago we had an umpire come out in the bottom of the 4th and tell our pitcher he had to change gloves. He had worn it for the first 3 innings without anything being said. The opposing coach had not said anything either because he was upset that the game was delayed for this.

I think it was just a case of the umpire wanting to be more a part of the game.

I am not assuming anything. I have seen numerous games at every level this year. Not once has an umpire said anything about the gloves - including a black and light gray Rawlings.

As always, it is left up to the umpire's discretion.

I don't know if it applies in your situation but as far as FED rules go, a pitcher's glove must be "uniform in color."

Coach Robert,
My son (pitcher) bought a two toned glove because he liked the fit but was asked to remove it several times last year. It sat in the closet for a while and when he asked for a new glove, I took the two tone to a professional shoemaker who dyed it. For awhile the dye came off, but now it's a beauty!

Professional shoemaker. Now that's a great tip, thanks!
