Well, I for one find it incredibly bewildering to look out over a sea of colors and try to choose which color on which player means defense vs offense. If there's only one contrasting T-shirt, it's not too bad, but if you allow any contrasting color, it really can get pretty confusing. And I've got more experience than these little 6th graders, most of whom have never played before this year.
