There is a specific case for allowing players to change jerseys without penalty in case of a torn jersey or having blood on it. I don't foresee a problem.

I am not talking about changing a jersey for blood or repair reasons.

I've never seen a player pull their jersey off other than for blood or repair or else for the "technical foul" reason. What else is there? Maybe I don't get out enough.

I know they put this rule in in volleyball a couple of years ago. Girls were coming into the gym in their street clothes and just sort of changing right there. They'd have their shorts under their jeans, pull off their jeans, take off whatever top they were wearing and then pull their team jersey or t-shirt on. And I've seen girls at basketball games, when they're wearing those jerseys that are white on one side and colored on the other, strip off their jerseys, turn them inside out and put them back on. I expect there were some parents of some boys who thought this might be a bit much for teen-agers to handle. I know it makes my teen-age son uncomfortable. I'd be surprised if this rule wasn't to address this issue, at least a little.
