But that's not how we enforce it, is it? If the new varsity jerseys have white piping on the seams, but one kid is wearing last year's jersey without the white piping, do we penalize? I don't think so; at least, I'm sure I wouldn't.

I think BITS's comment is most appropriate: the "uniform" is simply a distinctive outfit.
