Funny story about uniforms and the all-black shoe debate...

A fellow umpire was selected to work the Final Four for the state tournament, which is held locally. The state office told the umpires working these games that they need to wear all black shoes, so my friend couldn't wear his Reebok base shoes, and instead wears some all black basketball referee shoes. So I'm looking at a photo album online from the state championships. In one of the pictures of the umpires, the three guys (Not the crew my friend was on) are wearing three different styles of navy jackets. One with the red/white stripes, one with the powder stripes, and one that's all navy.

I want to know who the guy is at the state level who is an all black shoe Nazi but will let three guys walk on the field for a state championship game in three different jackets.
