I have seen players take jerseys off because they were removing undershirts that did not comply with the rules. Some official out there will try to make a player go to the locker room or T them up. Mark my words on this. Someone will post the very question here or you will hear about someone will call a T outside of what the rule was made for. Unless of course they clarify this further and still someone will go looking for s##t and still call this. Or at the very least some coach will get upset at an official for not calling a T. I will not likely happen at the varsity level, but I can easily see this called at the lower levels, where the jerseys are many times "warm up" style jerseys and you can flip the uniforms from one color to another.

I feel the same way about Rule 9-3-2 as well. There will be people calling all kinds of violations if the NF Committee does not clarify all the situations they want this to be applied and not applied.

Fortunately, my association emphasizes common sense and I can't envision those calls happening locally. But I get your point... I have met rulebook refs who look for trouble before. Calling a T on a kid for removing an undershirt would be an all-time stretch though that would be worthy of a hall of shame officiating award.
