Colorado High School Baseball Umpire Association Black Ignite Umpire Cap
The Colorado Umpire Cap Built for Today's CHSBUA Uniform
The CHSBUA Black Richardson Ignite Umpire Cap combines the current Colorado high school baseball uniform requirement with Richardson's performance-oriented Ignite construction. Finished in black with an embroidered CHSBUA logo, this cap is designed specifically for Colorado high school baseball umpires who want association-compliant headwear with a modern performance fit.
The black cap color is important: CHSBUA's current uniform code specifies new CHSBUA logo hats, and the association's active uniform standard calls for black rather than the outdated navy color.
The Richardson Ignite design adds a lightweight stretch performance fabric, structured umpire profile, pre-curved bill, and performance sweatband. Select the bill configuration that matches your position and personal preference, with 4-stitch options commonly used behind the plate and 6- or 8-stitch options commonly selected for base work.

CHSBUA-Specific Details
Black is the current color:
Black is the standard color for Colorado high school baseball umpire headwear. Navy caps are no longer part of the active uniform standard.
Embroidered CHSBUA logo:
The embroidered association logo provides the professional identification Colorado umpires need. CHSBUA's current uniform code specifically calls for new CHSBUA logo hats.
Postseason ready:
The embroidered CHSBUA logo is particularly important for postseason officials under the supplied CHSBUA uniform guidelines.

The Richardson Ignite platform is designed around lightweight stretch performance fabric and a fitted umpire profile rather than a traditional adjustable cap.
Select the Right Stitch Style
4-Stitch — Plate Umpire
The shorter visor profile is commonly preferred by umpires working behind the plate. Its compact bill works well with the traditional plate-umpire look.
6-Stitch — Base / Combo
A 6-stitch visor provides a medium-length bill and is a versatile choice for umpires who work both plate and base assignments.
8-Stitch — Base Umpire
The longer visor profile is commonly selected by base umpires who prefer additional bill length.
Stitch count refers to the rows of stitching across the visor and corresponds to different bill lengths depending on the specific Richardson model.
