Actually, the uniforms are not the umpire's call. They are the enforcer, but the TD & ASA Rep make the call on what to enforce, not the UIC.
I have actually had a game stopped and, as the 1st base umpire, I was told to inform F4 to either pull up his non-conforming compression shorts, remove them or provide a substitute.
I think if you are going to enforce something, you enforce them all the way through a tournament. Let them get away with it at any time, and the teams will just throw it back in your face whether referring to uniforms, rules or anything else.
