False. All of the above of the rule can be affirmed, but for a different player than for who was wearing it. For example, let's say I'm a freshman, and I break my nose. Well, last year as a senior, my brother broke his nose and had to wear the face mask that was designed specifically for him. He was 50 pounds heavier than I am now, so his face is bigger and wider. Although my doctor prescribed the face mask, and has a note for it, my parents don't want to pay for another one since we already have one from last year's injury to my brother. So, I can wear that one, right?? WRONG. Well, why not?? It fits all of the criteria of the rule, doesn't it? Yes, but not to the "verbal amendment" because the one for my brother may be too large for me and does not give any protection to me as one designed specifically for me. That is the reason for the "verbal amendment."
