Therefore, the jerseys of each team member are supposed to be the same single solid color.

I just don't see that inference, Nevada. There's no rule or definition of "team jersey" as the identical shirts as the rest of the team. "Team jersey" might simply mean the same thing as "game jersey", which is how I've always taken it.
Our pizza group sided with the majority here. No rule mandates that all game jerseys be the same color. Let the kid play with no penalty, as long as it's not confusing to the opponents.

While I'd let the kid play, the definition of the word "uniform" is that they are the same....including color. If the word uniform is used in describing the outfit, then it is implied that each player must be dressed in the same color/style shirt and shorts.
