Why can't the player in the blue jeans shorts play? Please state rule and casebook references.

One rule you can always use is Rule 3-5. That one says that it's up to the referee's judgement as to whether the player has "apparel" on that may be dangerous to other players. I don't have a problem with blue jean shorts. I can definitely see a problem though with the belt loops on blue jean shorts. Or wide, gaping pockets. Or maybe metal studs on the pockets.
Comments? [/B]

Yes, I have a comment. "Don't go there girlfriend."

That was a legitimate question, and those were all legitimate safety concerns. And the referee, using the language of R3-5, can rule the blue jean shorts illegal if he has the same concerns.
