You have alot to learn about being an umpire. I suggest you give up the clinic videos.

wear your hat straight, get a real button up shirt from honigs, and wear the right color undershirt.

This umpire needs to get a fitted hat, wear the fitted cap forward, zip up his shirt, not wear a green undershirt, and use the indicator in his left hand.

@SkateSolutions Yes, I can get my mask off with a six-stitch or eight-stitch hat (unless I'm wearing my Wilson "New View" mask, which only works with a ≤6-stitch). Look at MLB umpires (lots of pics on google). All of them wear at least six-stich hats and none of them ever wears them backwards. They even make four-stitch brim hats for umpires. Wearing your hat backwards makes you look like a slob, and umpires shouldn't look like slobs, especially if they're going to post on YouTube as "experts."

They make smaller brim hats for plate umpires because it looks terrible with a backwards hat
