Caught a few moments of LSU/Georgia and only U3 is wearing a jacket. The PU and U1 are in short sleeves. Strange...at least to this baseball guy.

It is strange, but in NCAA softball permissible. It's in the book under Rule 15....
"individual umpires may chose not to wear a jacket."
Don't agree with it, surprised that you would see a crew working in a high profile DI conference like the SEC doing it, but the book (and I assume the conference coordinator) say it's OK.
