That is true. That said, the rulebook says that "if there is doubt, the referee may require players of the home team to change jerseys". In this situation, I would delay the game to allow the home team to change into contrasting jerseys. Blue vs blue is a mess. Blue vs red isn't exactly legal, but at least the colors would be contrasting.

It's a shame that NFHS does not have a specific penalty like NCAA does for illegal jerseys. Take a penalty on each half's kickoff and lose a timeout every quarter you play with illegal jerseys is a strong incentive to have legal jerseys.
