I've given bad ratings to many umpires with new uniforms. Bad fit, wrong shade of gray on the pants - you name it! I had one guy that didn't like the fact that I gigged him because he had his shirttail sticking out for most of the game.
That being said, a good evaluator should always mention the positive because that is a "building block". The more positives that you can find in an umpire, the better they take the negatives. Also when mentioning the negatives, an evaluator should be brief and to the point. If the umpire has a question on a negative point, that is when the evaluator should expand.
