I am a Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth certified umpire. I also umpire some American Legion.
I plan on buying a new set of uniforms for Legion this year (our association doesn't require this) and I would like to know where the proper placement for association patches should go? From what I've researched this is what I came up with, however, nothing is definitive. 1. Association patch (American Legion & Babe Ruth) should go on the left sleeve. 2. If you have a number it should be placed on the right shoulder. 3. Flag should be on left shoulder or upper back below neck. Does that sound about right??? |

NUA goes above pocket on chest, sorry I have mine centered on the pocket. Numbers on right shoulder sleeve, Flag as you discribed, unless things have changed.

Thanks.....I am also a Fast Pitch Softball MOA (State High School Association) umpire and they require us to wear that patch on the left chest as well.

When I first started, I just copied MBL patch locations and have never been confronted on the location of my NUA patch being on the pocket. I don't think most would care, at least when I did a regional in Canada, they did not. They were just concerned that I had the patch and the certifcation card.
LOVE Montana.....my favorite state other than Alaska

I just emailed headquarters for both American Legion Baseball and Babe Ruth/Cal Ripken.
Legion said "Left Sleeve" and Babe Ruth said "Left Sleeve or Left Chest". I find it kind of weird that Babe Ruth would say either, but I guess that is the answer. |

I find it kind of weird that Babe Ruth would say either, but I guess that is the answer.[/quote] Did you tell them that you were an umpire when you asked the question or ask the question were it seemed that you were a player asking about the positioning of the patches on the uniform? I think the NUA has a standard for the position of the umpire patch on the uniform.

Some patches are best worn between the chin and the nose.
