Ok, who cares if you get more respect or the benefit of the doubt on close calls if show up with a clean, neat uniform. My questions is :Why in the world would you want to show up with a dirty uniform? I mean c'mon, what could the possible reason be for showing up looking like a slob ? People can argue if it's more appropriate to show up to work in a uniform, business formal, or business casual. But I've never heard anyone have as part of their dress policy that clothes should be clean (foremost) and neat (don't have to look starched and pressed but can't be a ball of wrinkles or have holes in them etc.). It's just assumed that you'll be clean and neat. Why should umpiring be any different?
