I took off my jacket and got told by the UIC to put it back on so that we would look 'uniform'.

When we got into the room I took off my jacket and shirt and both made a loud 'SLAP' as they hit the floor. I had sweated through both of them. I HATE setting the dress code for all umpires off of what one guy wants to wear.

Sorry for the rant.
They should try to consider everybody's interests when deciding what to wear. Were you plate ump for that game?
