Our Association ( Green Bay Officials Association) and the WIAA (Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association) last year instructed us to not allow a player to wear anything under the helmet unless it was approved by the manufacturer. These instructions were to the coaches and officials in the annual football meetings. The presenter noted the manufacturer's stance regarding injuries.
As ump, I will instruct coaches and players that they cannot be worn, not part of the legal equipment. Our state meetings are in August. I will see if the direction has changed then.
