I think it does matter. Now I don't put this in the same category as waiting for a manager to complain.

Well, I do. If ya wanna look like mr hard a$$, so be it...

This is my jurisdiction. Chris stated above that if it was the F1 he makes him, because it does affect the game.
If its BR it doesn't affect the game, but if does affect the image of the game. I want a clean game which I can start that by having clean looking players.

True, I will only beef with F1 if the opposing skipper complains or I see it as distracting. My main concern is with my cleanliness

Now I know in local leagues its hard, but once we get to tourney play and definitely in HS ages and up they will conform to the standards.

Tourney play, AH,as far as PONY goes, the various field directors have this job, not me. FED ball, well, most adhere, some don't...whoooppppeeee!!!!

Why do you think MLB has such standards, because it does matter.

TO THE BIG_WIGS and tv sponsers, remember, you are not yet in "the show"

Now as far as how they wear the pants, some have em long, some short and how they want to bend their caps etc, that is theirs, but as far as looks, they all need their shirts in and a cap on their head.

Remember the term "uniform"!!!! Take a look at 1.11 OBR. I sure can't see any place where it says player must have shirts tucked in...as far as it goes to state, either all or none must look the same...LOL

When is the last time you've seen a college kid or a MLB player with his shirt draggin or halfway in his belt?

Not very often, they got money to spend on proper fitting jerseys

As was stated in the original thread, kids today have no discipline. I say "tuck your shirt in" and he says "why?".
IMO it should be because I said so and I'm the authority in this game.

Wear it how you want at home and in practice, but in a game, you will conform. Maybe I'm just old school, but I'm the adult in charge of this game and the players, coaches, mangaers, bat boys/girls and everyone else will play accordingly.

But as I stated above it can be done discreetly and no one will ever notice.

thanks
David
