I understand that we do not want to become known as the "fashion police," but if only 10-20% of officials enforce the rules as written, then it's going to create some confusion on the part of the coaches and players. Just as with many other cases (including the coaching box), if every official would decide to agree with FED rulings (whether we believe them to be inconsequential or not), then by the end of year, nobody would be wearing illegal sweatbands/bicep bands and then we won't have to worry about looking for them everywhere.
As always, JMO
