While I think they look weird they were the gold standard for many years. I had a partner (He was from another part of the state and I'd never worked with him before) show up with one a couple of years ago. After I got done rolling my eyes and the game started I realised that he was actually a very good ump.
I learned a lesson that day. I've met a lot of crappy umps who wear a regular cp but the only guy I've worked with who had a life raft was excellent. I'm not judging the book by the cover any more.
