Lightweight Performance for Colorado Umpires. Built for officials who spend long innings behind the plate or covering the field, the Colorado High School Softball Association Navy Ignite Umpire Cap combines a traditional umpire profile with modern performance construction. This Richardson Ignite LT cap features a navy six-panel design, pre-curved bill, stretch R-Flex fit, and laser-vented back panels for a noticeably lighter, more breathable feel on the field.

The Ignite LT fabric is a 98% polyester/2% spandex stretch woven material, giving the cap flexibility without losing its structured umpire shape. A Stay-Dri performance sweatband helps manage moisture during warm tournament days, while the laser-perforated rear panels increase airflow.

Finished in official-looking navy and customized for the Colorado High School Softball Association, this cap is a strong choice for regular-season games, tournaments, and championship assignments.

Richardson's current Ignite LT umpire line uses the 700-series models with R-Flex sizing, laser-vented rear panels, a Mid-Pro profile, and a pre-curved bill.

What Makes the Ignite Cap Different?

The standout feature is the combination of Ignite LT stretch fabric and laser-vented rear panels. Rather than using a traditional solid-fabric umpire cap throughout, the perforated back panels allow additional airflow where officials need it most.

The R-Flex construction also eliminates the need for an adjustable strap, giving the cap a cleaner professional appearance while allowing the crown to flex with the wearer's head.

The pre-curved visor is available in different stitch configurations depending on the Ignite LT model selected. Richardson's current umpire models include 733, 743, and 753 versions with 2", 2½", and 2¾" bills respectively.

Product Specifications

Richardson's current 733/743/753 Ignite LT umpire models are offered in two R-Flex size ranges, with the 2026 catalog listing S/M at 6 7/8–7 1/4 and L/XL at 7 1/8–7 5/8. Some Richardson retail listings give the L/XL range as 7 1/8–7 3/4, so the exact sizing should follow the model supplied with the product.

• Colorado softball tournament officials
• Varsity softball umpires
• Regional and championship assignments

• Baseball and softball officials who prefer a performance cap
