The clinics you talk about that instruct such nonsense must be Little League, right?
As to the liability issue, most associations I know don't carry insurance on the umpires in the first place. We have to buy our own.

We don't wear watches or jewlery other than a wedding ring and the associaton purchases liability insurance that covers all members.
The only struggle we have over this is with one JV umpire who is upset that he can't wear eyebrow rings when he works.
