I had an 8th grade scrimmage today. One player had braces and a clear mouth piece that covered both the top and bottom teeth. I told him and his coach that the clear mouth piece was not legal this year, the coach had never heard of that rule change (go figure). I told him ,in my opinion, if he covered the strap with blue tape (the schools main color) it would make it stand out. I don't know how next weeks officials will feel about that and I will be the one that "let him play last week" but his parents have a lot invested in the braces and I knew he was wearing the mouth piece. Any thoughts on the strap being a solid color in cases like these.
