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.

Rubber bands are a safety item-i.e. broken----> eye.

As Tomegun said, you're blaming the wrong people. Try the people who made the rules, not the ones that have to enforce them. The ones enforcing the rules didn't get a vote. Has anyone ever met a referee that really cared if a number on a shirt was less than 3/4" wide?
