Why is there so much concern about, "How we look"? Does any of that really matter? We changed our uniform pants, because it made a LOT of practical sense. A considerable time ago, we changed the color of penalty flags from red to gold, again it was the practical reason that gold is more visible.
Now, at the HS level, we're widening the shirt stripes, why, because the combination of dark pants and narrow stripes make some of us harder to see. Since the dark pants are here to stay, widening the white stripes negates some of that problem, and makes practical sense.
Instead of how we look (because NOBODY but a few of us, really cares) the focus should be on whether a change makes sense, is practical, helps us do a better job or makes our job easier. As long as we understand we "look marvelous" who cares what anyone else thinks.
