I don't like any unorthodox shirt colors. I haven't worn anything but the MLB colors in the last two or three years, and besides those I would stick to navy or powder blue.

(Please insert your best Andy Rooney voice here.)

Ever wonder why umpires wear light blue shirts? No one in charge of anything should wear light blue, it's a sissy color. It was fine when umpires wore postman shirts, but not any longer.

Everyone should own an OC long sleeved black shirt. They don't make the +POS lined long sleeved shirt anymore, and this is the next best thing.

Cream is too close to the color of a baseball after the second inning.

We should be wearing white for day games, and black for night. Night should be any time you need lights.

Everyone should be wearing the GD pants. There should be an expiration date for the heathers. Perhaps 31 Dec 2009, but not for softball. We need someone who will buy our old pants on eBay.

How many colors do other sports officials choose from? (No, soccer doesn't, nor will it ever, count.)

For God's sake, do away with all colored ball bags except black. They go with both the white and black shirts.

If you insist on wearing a hockey mask to a baseball game, at least get a haircut. You shouldn't be frightening the children with your crazy, sweat induced hairdo every time you remove that contraption.

Beanies. I think Jimmy Dugan summed up how I think about those.

And I don't care what they wear in MLB. They wear those silly short sleeved jackets, for heavens sakes. There's even a fellow that wears a plastic collar, like you put on a dog when you don't want him to lick himself. I don't even want to think about that any more.

Thank you for making my point. The "majority of baseball umpiring methods" are just plain stupid. Case in point: There are still grown men wearing beanies, and trying to earn respect at the same time.

And cream is basically white, only if you get dressed in the dark.

Yes it was a real game, as in summer tournament. This tournament has a night or two where the umpires wear an unorthodox shirt or uniform to have a little fun with the blessing of the tournament. This was not during a regular high school or college game. It was a youth tournament with kids all over the world playing and this was a fun event. And the only people that seem to care are anal people who do not know how to have fun. I think I might have taken this picture.

Peace
