That's a good point

LDUB, I had been thinking about the same thing for a couple of days now. I figured I wouldn't post about it for the simple reason that the balloon had gone nearly extinct (I still see a few guys using them). With umpires so fashion conscious as to debate what color undershirts are allowed, whether white is allowable on which shoes, how wearing a plate coat makes you appear like a better umpire to other umpires, etc. etc., people would not wear the balloon because of the appearance.

I don't think that MrM really answered the question though. There doesn't seem to be any logical reason, other than the appearance, that one couldn't use an outside protector with the stance.
