How does matching the colors of ball bag and pants to avoid the sore thumb look offend the fashion police?
A
uniform is a
uniform, meaning sameness, "officialness", consistency with partner(s). Any color and any combination of colors that is prescribed is a
uniform and has the effect of distinguishing officials from players and announces our authority/preparation.
Sure, green pants with pink polka dot shirts
would take a while to gain acceptance with our fashionable/machismo cultural attitudes, and that would go against our need to be unobstrusive. But if prescribed that would be a
uniform.
Just to be clear, I am always and strongly opposed to changing uniforms just for a different color, different style, different insignia; when a current uniform component is just fine and not deteriorated.
