What does presense have to do with this conversation?
Presence is the "image" that you project while officiating. If your hair is in a ponytail or you have black jeans on, your presence is already hurt.
I do not live all over the country. I do not work in all conferences across the country or know all officials in the country.
You mean you don't live out of a van down by the river? :-) Me neither, but I would imagine you've seen enough high school and college ball on TV to see that "the look" is pretty universal. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
So you think or what I think is professional is sure different from other parts of the country.
To a point. At some point, it becomes absurd.
Hell I saw an official last year with Black Jeans on (had a patch in the back) doing a varsity Tournament. I thought that was entirely unprofessional and looked very bad, but he was there.
You were right. It was not only unprofessional, but it is not even a proper uniform. Remember that a sample size of one proves nothing.
I am sure that was not the first or last time this official had that kind of attire on, but he was working that X-Mas Tournament.
Actually, I think rather than assuming that he had worn that before, I might assume that he had a "pants problem" and forgot his backup pair.
