By the way, if you allow the bicep band and someone gets injured by it, apparently you are liable.
Negligence requires that you know (or should know) that a dangerous situation could occur.
Attire regulations have little to do with safety. A hairband that is tied in a bow is no more dangerous than one that is elastic, and a bicep band is no more dangerous than a wrist band. Just as a green hairband may be illegal, it is no more dangerous than a red hairband.
NFHS does not like individuality. If you have any doubt about an attire regulation, just think, "What would Big Brother do?"

Well, it's true that some of these rules are a pain in the azz. However, they are still rules.
I don't particularly like to tell players to pull their pants up and tuck their shirts in either, but I kinda do it faithfully anyway.
Lemme make a little suggestion for all of the people who don't like the rules as written(and personally, I ain't fond of some of them either). If you're being observed in the state playoffs at the end of the year, and you want to move deeper, it might be a good idea to make sure that illegal sweatbands, bicep bands, etc. aren't worn in that game. Of course, if you disagree, feel free to ignore that advice.
