I think that's where our supervisor was at last year when he stated that we should not allow anything under the helmet. As I stated in an earlier post it felt like a CYA, but again, the manufacturer does testing based on a properly fitted helmet to a players head, and does not represent that a bandana or jimi cap will continue to have the helmet operate as designed. While the rulebook does not state no bandanas specifically, it does mention that equipment cannot be altered from the muaufacturer's design. And on the moral side, we would probably be saving an injured player's parents a lot of angst when the manufacturer retorts to a claim that the helmet was not being worn as designed. THis might be a "better safe than sorry " scenario.
On a lighter note, I often wonder what the helmet mfgs think of when they see Al Harris and Mike McKenzie pull on their helmets over all that hair?
