I guess, depending on who is asked... everyone is right... and wrong.
I spoke with the Texas rules guy last night - and was told the 3-base award referred to using a glove that was illegal for the purpose of fielding a ball, and that the penalty for having an illegally colored glove is "fix it", even if said glove is used to field a ball.
Having read the response from Tee above, I've left an additional voicemail with him to ask him to consult his higher ups, as there is obviously contradictory information being spread by different FED guys.
