It seems to me that a first year art student could write a rule to solve the problem and save the expense for all the teams that have bought reasonably colored home jerseys. "Home jerseys must have a value/tone/hue (whatever the heck it is)of no more than x and road jerseys no less than y." It would allow some variety but allow a penalty for teams who have red home jerseys that are similar to another's red road jerseys. A simple grey card could be used to compare against if it became an issue.
Actually, I think the solution should address both home AND road jerseys. But the rule stands as is, and we've got to live with it. I would think if you chose the lightest shade of silver available, and asked your local officials' association for an opinion, you might get away with silver.
