We usually wish for the same rules among sanctions, but we can't even get to wear the same uniforms.
One of the reasons I heard Henry Pollard once use was that so many umpires work HS & college ball, it makes it easier for them if ASA would approve gray.

My opinion, screw the HS & college umpires. Why should someone working a particular association have to purchase multiple uniforms because someone else wants to work another association? I get the privilege of paying the extra expense for a uniform of which will get minimal use so others who can afford to purchase the additional uniforms can have it easier.

I will adapt to ASA, but if they returned to a single uniform, that would be fine by me. That way the umpire pays only for the uniforms of the associations which s/he chooses to work without placing any additional burden on those that don't make that extra money.
