Why do the rules specify that shirts must be tucked in? Why no rubber bands? I understand rules that are for the safety of the players, but why specify appearance? Don't we have enough things to do without going around checking players for uniformity? Or are all of these rules because the schools don't have the guts to tell their players how to dress and get to blame the refs for a dress code?

Why do you care whether their shoes match or they're wearing their shirts backwards, for that matter? As long as they're not wearing anything dangerous to others or themselves, and you can see their number why should you care?

When you see refs telling kids to take off their tee-shirts in an unheated gym in the middle of winter, just because the tees don't match the uniform, it makes you wonder what kind of childhood these guys had.
