I've seen more than I want to of umpires wearing their high school uniforms doing other games. I've seen the same in ASA games, PONY games, and others. I've even seen NCAA conference logos in non-NCAA games. I get tired of pee-ing into the wind. When I see that and verify with the tournament directors/authorities that they are not going to fix it - I don't work at those tournaments again - and I let them know why.
