And this rule can be altered if the schools agree, which current FED rules don't allow.

FED was once light and dark. You had a lot of teams that had light and dark jerseys that were more or less the same. I once had a game with two teams in grey (one just a little lighter than the other). That made for some interesting situations. In the midst of some plays, it was much harder to tell which was which. White, on the other hand, is pretty easy to tell from almost all other colors (except perhaps really light grey).
With light and dark being relative, for some teams, their dark jerseys were the same as someone else's light jerseys.
