I need to get a new mask. I'm thinking of getting the Force3 V2 as I've seen great reviews on it. Are colored masks acceptable, or can umpires only use black/tan pads? I've seen some with blue or red that look sharp such as this one, but not sure if these are meant for catchers only, or if we can use them?

Masks are masks are masks. Umpire, catcher, makes no difference. The ONLY time you'll see a manufacturer specify that a mask is either catcher or umpire is based on the harness that is used, period.

This is the new CYA world. Somewhere some umpire decided to call a game without a mask, took a foul ball to the face, and when he tried to claim his expenses was denied because he wasn't wearing

Except at the highest, especially if you own your own line.
