Common Sense And Some Empathy ...

My two cents, the rule and two interpretations say that a player can switch jerseys if there's blood on it if it's reported to the scorer and official (I would personally inform the opposing coach as well).

I don't see any limits on the number of switches. Player A had the bloody shirt, now Player B has it. Can't we treat Player B the same as we treated Player A? What does the rule and the two interpretations say about Player B, or any player, who now has a bloody shirt? It says that Player B, or any player, can switch jerseys if there's blood on it if it's reported to the scorer and official.

I can see a problem with musical jerseys, but the spirit and purpose is to not deceive, the spirit and purpose is not to limit participation of otherwise eligible players.

Also, I'm not using the British English, I'm using American English. Bloody means covered with some blood, b****y is not used in it's very vulgar sense.
