Yes, this is a no-no. Most of those types of dress pants are not made for outdoors, so they're very subject to discoloration or wear and tear MUCH easier than pants designed for umpires. Umpire pants are also constructed so you can run/squat in them, so they are much more durable.
Plus, you can tell who bought their pants from wal-mart and who bought umpire pants cuz they just don't look right. It's also a "dress for success" type thing. I was always told "If you dress like a clown, they'll treat you like a clown." So, i highly suggest buying umpire base pants.
