Comments?

I don't know about pockets or belts, but the metal studs on some jeans were the one thing that popped into my mind as a potential problem. I wouldn't allow the metal studs (or belt buckle, I guess), but other than that, there's nothing about denim shorts that is illegal.

I know that people are worried about the metal studs on the jeans pockets, but if anyone can find pictures of players from the 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's, one will find quite a few pictures showing the players wearing shorts that have belts with metal buckles. How did the officials handle that problem back then.
I am sure that the jeans situation does not very often during the school year. One will find jeans more often when the summer league and summer camp season roles around when the players show up to play with a shirt in their school colors and a number if they are lucky on the back of the jersey. Personally, jeans are not a problem that I worry about.
