Rookies. I'd be fairly impressed if every rookie team (specifically the member of the rookie team who orders the glasses) has read the administrative manual before ordering the glasses.
Also, as long as the rule is in place, teams who aren't in the situation above should follow it. I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying that the rule should be changed, because it seems like it has the potential to do harm and not that much good.
There's a differencing between forcing teams to wear safe, family friendly attire and forcing them to wear attire that makes them look "more professional."
Edit: although, trying to see the other side of the argument, maybe it is so that safety inspectors/ a team's mentors can know that you are actually focusing on your work and self-aware when you are walking down aisles. That would cause some safety issues, and is a valid argument to keep this rule in place.
