Not to mention lavender for spring and rust for fall.
Give me a break.
"Ooohh. The major leaguers wear this, that and the other. They look neat". Just an example of the number of sheeple in this country. If you want to be a MLB wannabe, go work baseball.
If you want to be an umpire, keep the uniform simple. What's the problem with being unique and having one uniform? It's not a fashion show out there, is it? And I'm not just talking about ASA. The guys that wear red, green, white or yellow shirts, the same goes for them. That's the uniform, why does someone always think that different is better?
Why is there a feeling that if the other guy does it, you have to do it? Sounds a bit like some people have an inferiority complex. IMO, if you need to keep up with the Jone's and it affects someone else, move to another neighborhood.
