personalized hemets

The head of athletics for my local county is asking us to not allow girls to wear "personalized" hemets. You know what I mean; ones with the girl's name on it, usually coming from a travel team they are on. He feels that it takes away from the team aspect of the sport, focusing more on the individual player.

There's nothing illegal that I can see about this type of hemet so long as it passes all the other criteria(NOCSAE symbol, etc, etc.). And in a way he's probably right about the team/individual thing. And in an even larger issue, he is the man we negotiate our contracts with, so I don't really have a problem enforcing this.

Just wondering, does anyone else has this type of local rule in regards to helmets?
