Partner woes

It's all about being uniformed.

How stupid would it look for one official to have belted slacks and a collared shirt while his partner is wearing beltless and a v-neck?

I, personally, don't see a problem with an association requiring all officials to be dressed alike.

My association doesn't have any requirements other than shirts must be v-neck and shoes must be the same (all crew members wear black, or they all wear white). No requirement on pleated/non-pleated or belted/non-belted.
