Because those with the white swooshes, strips, panels or whatever other configuration you can think of look terrible. The contrast of the white on black makes it look like your wearing sneakers.

There is a Carolina League team in Wilmington, DE and the umpires rarely dress alike, but the white on the shoes stand out even from the "sky" boxes.

Sorry, but all black is the easiest to match while finding the most comfortable shoe for the individual. At least, that is my opinion, FWIW.
