Case 4.1.1 Sit D - jersey colors
The NFHS updated Case 4.1.1 Sit D and offered another update through the rules interpretations.
The Case reads:
Team A, the home team arrives wearing striped jerseys that have (a) large, light blue and thin white alternating stripes or (b) large light red and thin white alternating stripes. Two members of Team A are wearing visible light red T-shirts beneath their jerseys.
The interp ruling, with underlines words being additions, reads:
(a) Illegal in (a) and (b). Striped jerseys are permissible for the home team as long as the dominant color is dark (dark is defined as any color which contrasts with white). Jerseys with equal-sized stripes that have both dark and white stripes do not have a dominant dark color and are illegal. If visible apparel is worn under the jersey and/or shorts, it shall be similar in length for the individual and all solid and of a like color for the team; Page 79, Comments on Rules Changes: 12.8.1f(15)
They seem to contradict. Shouldn't the Case read "Team A, the visiting team.." or shouldn't the ruling be that they are "legal". Needs to be one or the other.
For 2018-19, Home wears dark and Away wears white.
Or am I missing something painfully obvious?
