I won't speak for grunewar, but this varies.
First of all, he didn't say anyone. He said his experience has shown a correlation between the two groups.
Second, it's a regional thing. Those officials who work at gyms without adequate changing rooms are stuck; this could vary as much by area as it does by level. Around here, I would never consider going to a hs game in uniform. On top of that, the assigner sent an email out to everyone recently reminding them as much.
Other areas may not view this as nearly as big a deal; and it may be the norm to show up to even a varsity game with the uniform on.
