REPLY: Assuming that the bandana presents no safety compromises to the wearer (umpire's determination), the answer is TRUE in Federation rules. For the 2000 season the NFHS Rules Committee entertained a motion to make them illegal (see
http://football.refs.org/rules/NF2000vote.html). The motion failed by a vote of 30-17. The Fed chose not to include them as illegal equipment.
By the way, in NCAA rules, visible bandannas are illegal equipment when worn in the field of play or the endzones.
