Personally, I can see where it is anything but an adornment. What other purpose could it possibly serve?

What other types of things do you consider to be adornments?
According to Rule 1-5-1a the face mask should meet NOCASE test standard at the time of manufacture. And..."the surface covered with resilient material designed to prevent chipping, burrs or abrasiveness which could endanger players."

I would judge the tape abrasive and have them remove it.
