I'm amused by the guys who think that, because fashion shouldn't matter, they can single-handedly make it not matter by declining to follow it.

Some that decline to follow it in the name of principle, wouldn't get a better schedule if they did follow it. They simply use the uniform/appearance as a scapegoat for the reason they don't get better games.

There are exceptions, I suppose? Who would look better/more professional?

Felix Unger with a belt, or Oscar Madison without one.

Are these names mixed up, or have I been drinking too much nog?

The point I was trying to make is that I hope no one lets the exterior of the package overshadow the contents. The guy who declared the game over in the thread

Officials dismissed between games

is one from our association who does not wear a belt.

You may not get to the contents if you do not have a good looking outside package or what people see first.

Like someone said before, this is probably more of a local thing. But I can hold on one hand the times I see officials wearing a belt and every time I see this it clearly shows.

Peace

Yep, the guy with the great personality is still sitting at home Saturday nights.

That statement alone is fair enough. But, back to the example of the other guy mentioned above. We've both been with the same association for about the same time. I'm the one everybody calls with their rules questions (no small thanks to this board) and he pulls a stunt like this. (among others) Now if this guy gets a playoff game and I don't and the reason given is "His pants look better," be it here or wherever, I find that disturbing.
