And around here we do not have an "evaluator". We have an UIC. He does not care which of the 3 colors we use, but LL dress code specifically states we are allowed grey, navy, or black. I have chosen black. If we get a new regulation then i will be happy to meet it. I look professional.

Pay attention in English class.

Really? I don't recall any of the MLB umpires wearing black ball bags with their navy shirt when they were part of their uniform. But, maybe that's just me.

If you really believe you look professional, why did you ask for comments on anything? In addition, after several people have tried to help you, and you fire back with the "so what, that's how I do it and I'm not changing" attitude. If that's the case, fine, you're not going to become a better umpire, therefore you won't move up -- but whatever. More so, why the hell even bother asking and wasting everyone's time?? What a waste of bandwidth!

Like the others, I am certainly done with this nonsense.
