One Time "Alternate" Umpire Uniform
Just looking for opinions......

A local high school is planning an alumni/benefit game. The umpires are wanting to wear Hawaiian shirts to call the game. It is not a "sanctioned" game.

Anyone see a problem with this?

Since it is not "sanctioned", I suggest wear the shirts, but be sure you have some type of liability insurance. Just because it is a fun game doesn't mean something will not go wrong.
