A white shirt? I hadn't considered that.

Looks like a light blue shirt to me, with the color washed out in the photo due to the sunny lighting. Compare the shirt to the white uniform worn by the player. The uniform looks bright white and the shirt seems to have a blue tint to it.

But I'll take this guy over the umpire I saw at a tournament last weekend.

Pants- faded to the point of getting that purple look to them, with ragged bottoms at the hem.
Shoes- mud encrusted.
Shirt- obvously unwashed and residing in the trunk of his car.
Ball bag- couldn't have been nastier if you had purposely rolled it in the dirt.
Hat- the topper (literally). Faded, filthy and frayed around the brim (like those "pre-ripped" hats that are sold that way), with chunks of material hanging down.

And the guy had long, greasy hair that looked like he just jumped out of bed and ran his fingers through it. Pretty much the worst looking umpire I have ever seen. I'll take the "Elbeco/red sock guy" any day!
