Umpires’ Dress Code
Uniformity
Regardless of the number of umpires, the base umpires must be dressed identically. The plate umpire, for his part, can choose the clothing he prefers independently of the clothing of the base umpire. However, it is more professional for all referees to be dressed the same way.
Authorised clothing
Ball Cap
Black ball cap with embroided Baseball Québec logo in the front.
Socks
Black socks.
Belt
Black. It should be large enough to support two well-filled ball bags.
Polo shirt
Powder blue with black and grey stripes. It can be worn at the plate or on bases, with a black t-shirt underneath.
Jacket
Black with powder blue stripes at the shoulder with Baseball Québec Umpires logo on the front.
Gloves
Black.
T-Shirt (undershirt)
Black. This t-shirt should always be worn under your uniform. It makes wearing the chest protector more comfortable. On bases, it traps sweat rather than wetting your uniform, preserving your appearance.
Pants
Charcoal grey.
Ball bag
Navy blue with the Baseball Quebec logo. The navy blue or black ball bag is also compliant. The grey ball bag is only accepted if it is exactly the same color as the pants.
Shoes
Completely black, but the trademark is tolerated.
Note: Kleets are allowed.
Blazer
Black, blazer style, preferably with deep pockets allowing the insertion of several balls when the referee is working on marble.
Note: This item is optional and should only be purchased by high-level referees.
