Why would you have an IHSA patch on a baseball umpire's shirt that has numbers?

1) You are too cheap to buy a second shirt for doing non-IHSA baseball.

2) You don't care how it looks.

3) Yu are trying to show up a partner that doesn't belong to your group.

There might be another reason or two, but when I see a guy walk on a high school field (in Illinois) with numbers, I laugh. And don't forget up until last year, the left sleeve had teh IHSA Official's insignis and the right sleeve had the Sportsmanship patch. Those who had numbers on their right sleeve should not be wondering why they did not get playoff assignments when they couldn't adhere to policy.
