Don't Go Looking For Trouble ...

I fully understand the "Don't go looking for trouble" policy, but ...

Several years ago we had a visiting team with purple jerseys. The entire team wore warm-up jackets during the pregame layup lines, thus covering up any fashion issues.

During the pregame ceremony, as the starters were being introduced, one starter (and only one starter) came out with a very, very short sleeved (almost sleeveless) black undershirt under his purple jersey, with only about an inch-plus of black showing. We discussed and decided that it wasn't very obvious under the purple jersey, and we decided to let it go.

Sure enough, in the second period a visitor substitute reports with a long sleeved (all the way down to his wrists) black undershirt under his purple jersey. It couldn't be more obvious that the long sleeved black undershirt was illegal under the purple jersey.
