I'm curious. What's the worst thing that could happen if you wore no hat with your helmet, or long sleeves? Seems to me good umpires are at a premium. I'm asked to work at lots of organizations constantly. We're in demand, yet some organizations want to keep us down.
I understand the need for uniformity, but it does have it's limitations. Some organizations require a certain jacket, yet, if I roll out with my Fechheimer plate coat I'm sure nobody will complain (except the fashion police!).
Duck, my friend, you're being oppressed. Rise up, and take a stand. Fire off a letter, and include some pictures of MLB umpires without hats. Don't stand (box, scissors or GD) for this!
