I think that the players just constantly go through fads. Some are regional, and other areas may never hear of them. It's just up to us to make sure that their "fads" conform to the applicable rules. Personally, I hate having to be the clothing police out there- especially on non-safety related items. But I do it religiously because (a) it's a rule, and I don't get to pick and choose the ones that I like to apply- and(b) I don't want any coach saying "hey, the last referees that we had didn't call that".
Rubber bands on wrists? That's a no-no by rule, isn't it?
