Nor has there ever been an abolition on belted pants. The situation is exactly the same. It's a question of style. If 95% of D1 officials suddenly went back to belted pants next season, so would most of the rest of us. This is exactly what happened with pleats and the new wide-stripe shirt. The lanyard is exactly the same kind of situation. Pure style.

it seems like it is much more acceptable for African-Americans to wear mustaches rather than other races of people.
Agreed. But even more acceptable is not to have any facial hair at all.
