Where do you umpire?
Example: I started out in LL and at that time in my life I didn't know if I would like umpiring or having any type of umpiring career.
The color of the pants at that time was Navy Blue.
I had an old Navy Blue Suit with Bell Bottom pants. Instead of throwing out the suit I used the Navy pants for umpiring. I also had a light blue shirt (it was not Elbeco) in which I sowed the LL patch on.
Therefore I looked somewhat professional and it didn't cost me anything.
In Summary: If you are in any kind of umpire association, there are requirements that one must have in order to be a member.
If you simply "free-lance" and are a volunteer that doesn't get paid or gets paid a nominal FEE then there is no problem in your approach.
Once you join an association then look the part.
