How come the FED didn't put any color/size restrictions on rubber/cloth hair control bands like they did on headbands/sweatbands?

Not that I really care.....
Good question...maybe next year...but, I don't really care either since I only officiate boys basketball. (I haven't seen too many hair bands on the boys side)

3-5-3(a)
"Headbands and sweatbands must be white or similar color to the torso of the jersey and must be the same color for each item and all participants."

I thought similar and same meant two different things.
The rule says similar...therefore, IMO...if a team had royal blue jerseys then a light blue headband/sweatband should be OK. The test question made it sound, to me, like the headbands and sweatbands have to be exactly the SAME color as the jersey.
