I actually prefer them only because I can hide the lanyard under the collar and it's not rubbing my neck. If an official does his/her job well, are the latest fashions all that important, especially for a seasoned veteran?

Other than first impressions, no, they're not important. But how important are first impressions?

Also, have you tried a smitty instead of a noose?
