What's the general opinion of a PU that wears his shin guards outside long pants?
Credit given for wearing protective equipment but looks pretty tacky; almost as bad as shin guards with shorts!!

Shin guards on the outside of long pants is a very poor reflection for the umpire (and I think it looks stupid).
Wear your proper clothing, have protective equipment fit properly, shine your shoes (I have seen many "umpires" wear white tennis shoes) and wear a hat.
I think it is poor to see a PU wearing a hat backwards. I have even seen a PU have the "beanie" style hat and even wear that backwards.
I am not sure how many people observe the umpires appearence although I have been taught to dress properly while being PU or BU.
