I don't find it necessary to adhere to uniform "rules" because as an independent contractor, what I wear is my province. If the state association wants to prescribe my clothing, they can opt for an employer/employee relationship.
If their choice is to take lesser-quality umpires because they wear blue shirts with patches and have shiny shoes, that says more about them than it does about me.
You make think of people who don't conform as stubborn, but what of the people who makes those "rules?" What are they other than control freaks?

Well that sounds great, but if someone takes your license or stops giving you games at that level, then you will not have to worry about it at all.
