It's not really a huge issue to me, but it could be argued that wearing the college jacket instead of the high school one can give coaches/players a preconceived notion of the quality of officials at work...that the high school guys aren't as good as the college guy. Heck, your example is proof...you may say you didn't think less of the other officials, but you already thought the college guy was A+...meaning you thought less of the other two.
Also, for some officials, they could be doing it to try and big-time their high school partner(s).
