IMO there's no question that the surface of the gloves is more "receptive" to catching the ball than a plain leather glove. I think the issue of color is due to the fact that although the gloves themselves meet NF and NCAA requirements (according to the tags), NCAA additionally requires that gloves be gray in color and the last I knew NF does not have the gray only restriction. I've never seen the "colored" gloves in a HS game that I've had (as the U I would not allow player to wear them) but several receivers in the EFL (semi-pro) have the colored versions and we don't enforce the gray color only restriction in the EFL.
I view this as similar to the ball restrictions we have under MIAA rules in MA. If the ball has an NFL logo we can't use it in a MA HS game even if it is the same ball mfg by the same "official" manufacturer as specified in the MIAA rules.
