No, it's not legal.
1-5-3n
Illegal equipment. No player shall participate while wearing illegal equipment. This applies to any equipment, which in the opinion of the umpire is dangerous, confusing or inappropriate. Illegal equipment shall always include but is not limited to:
Eye shields which are not clear, not molded, or not rigid.
1.5.3 SITUATION D:
During the pregame visit in A's dressing room, the umpire notices that some squad members have eye shields which are: (a) dark, or (b) clear. The coach of A has a letter from a physician indicating that the dark shield is a necessity for the player.
RULING: In (a), the umpire indicates to the coach only eye shields which permit 100% light transmission may be worn, a physician's statement cannot supersede this rule. In (b), the eye shield is legal if, in addition to being clear, it is also molded and rigid, and attached firmly to the helmet.
BTW, 100% and he wouldn't be able to see.
