A baseball team wears the same uniform. The pitcher doesn't have a red shirt and the centerfielder a blue or white shirt.

Umpires are a team--the uniform should be uniform! It's unacceptable in my neck of the woods to not have the same color. If it's cold and someone want's a black jacket, the rest of the crew may choose not to wear a jacket, but their shirts will be black.

It is very rare to see umps not in the same color. I don't really care one way or the other, but just found it perplexing. It was obviously on purpose...so I thought I'd ask and see if there was a logical explanation.
