What happens if you wear what's not "allowed"? Fewer or no assignments? School won't pay? Here, state tournament assignments are withheld. If you're on the recommended list, a rep comes out to evaluate you. Prohibited colors automatically disqualify you from further consideration. By the time districts are over, summer ball (with better pay and better players) has started, so missing the state tourney isn't much of a "penalty".

I have some Cliff Keene whites with red and blue trim that I think look sensational with the charcoal slacks. At the HS level, I wear whatever color I effin' well please. Sometimes it's whatever happens to be clean after working eight days in a row.

The assignments keep coming and the checks all clear, though, and that's what's important.

Good point.

My three man crew on the night game on Saint Patrick's Day all wore green umpire shirts. Even the PU was named Patrick. Everyone thought it was pretty cool.

Keep your baby blue shirts, and your MLB smocks. If a T-Ball Mom says I look good, I'm taking her word over any of you guys here. (No, I wasn't umpiring a T-Ball game. But I might think about it now).

The official threat is withholding postseason, but they could strip a license for repeated non-compliance and it's just not worth it to me.

He had the bat boy hold it for him while he went out for the explanation...
