Umpire Gear Websites

A well dressed umpire creates a good first impression and projects the confidence and respect that can help make a game go smoothly. It is recommended (strongly recommended for Major and higher games) that you wear grey slacks and black athletic shoes which can generally be found cheaply at local stores. RMVLL will provide every umpire with a navy blue umpire shirt and hat. The umpire storage bin has chest protectors, masks, shinguards, indicators, and brushes. Please return these items to the storage bin after each game and make sure you lock the bin!

For those of you interested in purchasing your own umpire gear, the below sites have a wide selection of items to choose from:
