My son, who will be a freshman pitcher this year in high school, is playing winter ball on the JV squad. The head coach told him his two-tone glove is not acceptable in high school. His glove is black and tan. The head coach told us to die the glove all black, since that's the main color. He told us a lot of umpires last year were very stict on any kind of two-tone gloves.
Since first semister finals are this week and no games will be played this weekend, we decided to die the glove all black yesterday.
Has anybody else had to do this?
Just curious on how any Southern California CIF umpires feel on this issue. FYI, the web of the glove was black with tan stitching, if that makes a difference.
Thanx, Garry

Will tell the JV coach when I see him next time about the recent rule change.
