Is your unit going to allow this jacket?

tip184, the point being that as long as you and your partner match AND are professional, what does it matter? That's why the Pro's have so much leniency in what they wear. If we continue to accept ONLY black, or polo blue as our standard, doesn't that create a monopoly? Honigs is the ONLY supplier for many D1 conferences. That is a monopoly. Yes, we were a bit overboard on the throwback, but the point being, we matched, and gave the game our all. Just having the "accepted" uniform does not make an umpire. I even broke out the balloon protector last year on a JC game. The HC's (whom I had worked many games before) actually appreciated me doing something different. Dare to be different. If you want conformity, do womens softball.
