Toss out your preconceived notions about colors (WWMLBguysW), and think about what colors go good with dark gray slacks. Now I understand that the only taste some you guys have is in your mouth, so try to keep up.

If I look in my non-umpire closet, I've got zero baby blue golf shirts. Several red, a couple of navy, a few black and green ones two. I don't think I'd wear a powder blue polo shirt, nor a pink one. If Joe West wore a pink paisley shirt, half you guys would be hitting the keyboards searching for one. The same ones that have those half sleeved smocks in your arsenal.

So stop thinking about what other umpires wear, and start thinking about what looks good.

Using the this logic, I'd never wear black and white stripes on the football field or basketball court.
