It's not a new day, it's how it's always been. When that kid shows up for a job interview looking like he doesn't care if he gets it, he probably won't. It takes 10 minutes of thought, at most, to make yourself look presentable in an interview. To me, when that kid shows up, it tells me he doesn't give any thought to how he looks. Frankly, I wouldn't give him the time of day; as there are many other qualified applicants who do, in fact, show their willingness to look and act professional.
Same goes for officiating. No, wearing beltless pants doesn't make you a better official. No one here said it does. It does, however, display your lack of concern for the current uniform. Frankly, it does in fact show that you aren't going to bother with updating your game. It then lends to the perception that you might not even be up to date with the rules changes of the last 10 years.
