The sentence goes:
A good judge, like a good umpire, cannot act as a partisan... If you are playing the Yankees, you don’t want the umpires to show up wearing pinstripes.
I cannot understand the part after the ellipsis. "Show up wearing pinstripes" seems to be a proverb or slang. Could anyone help explain?

There is nothing in the language used in this quotation that needs an explanation; what the question calls for is an explanation of certain facts about baseball.

In American Major League Baseball, the New York Yankees traditionally wear pinstripes on their uniforms.
https://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/04/yankees-pinstripes-origin-babe-ruth 1
Thus, for the umpires, who are supposed to be impartial judges, to "show up wearing pinstripes," would suggest they were, in fact, favoring the Yankees.

It's an illustration of the rule expressed in the preceding sentence. If you want to be (or appear) impartial, do not wear the uniform of one of the teams.
The [Yankees] home uniform is white with distinctive pinstripes and a
navy interlocking "NY" at the chest.
