Not so much a standard uniform, but how bout making the states update to the times and styles. It would make the registered officials in that state actually think about there uniforms and get new pants and shirts to replace the faded ones, and in all honesty, make the umpire look maybe just a little more professional. Just a thought.
Just an example of how outdated things are sometimes. In PA the uniform for a soccer official is the black/white striped shirt. Are you kidding me, and I don't even work soccer or have a kid playing HS soccer but seriously it's a joke. Look at any officials catalog/website and look at the options for soccer referee shirts. They have more colors/styles/choices than baseball umps have, and that's including the officials choice colors. It's pathetic sometimes. And the reason is probably because of money, and old timers or crappy officials that actually dont take the time or spend the money to look and dress decent.
