I am a pitcher looking for a new glove, I have heard some leagues don't allow pitchers to use two-toned gloves. What classifies as a 2toned glove and has anyone ever witnessed a problem with a two toned glove?

NFHS rules and many others require pitchers to use single color gloves, and very lightly colored gloves can also cause trouble. Yes, I have seen mid-game protests and pitchers having to borrow someone else's to continue. Makes you wonder why the manufacturers keep cranking out those god-awful ugly multi-color jobs.
Bottom line, confine your search to solid color gloves, tan or darker.
(The brand patches/insignias don't count as a separate color, though.)

I thought it was that it can't have any white. Pitcher on my team had to dig up an old glove, only because he had a USA Flag on his glove.
I've seen pitchers called on the two toned gloves with a grey leather.
Are there any batters here who actually get distracted from the color of a glove?
FED rules this year changed....you may now have a two toned glove but it may not be white or grey......and the logo if it contains a large amount of white may be determined to be distracting........
so two tone brown, or black and tan or black and brown are legal.......

A pitcher on my team was forced to color his glove in with eye black in the middle of a game because it had a white logo. He wasn't very happy.
