Hopefully the (Connecticut) CIAC will do the same regarding this new shorts rule.

Coaches will often reward junior varsity players by inviting some of them (with their "wrong" color shorts) to sit on the varsity bench. Pretty sure that our CIAC will have to make some exceptions until everybody goes through a new uniform cycle (or maybe beyond).
Bottom line for me, I will do what my local interpreter, and assignment commissioner, want me to do.
