That hits it right on the head. The rule was introduced several years ago and now it will be enforced. Ohio had been saying Varsity only for a while to let the other uniforms cycle through.
There is a CYO league that put in place a double sided uniform rule about 6 years ago. They gave all the participating schools about 3 years to comply yet there are still teams that purchase the single sided uniforms because they don't like the look of the double sided. They then force their opponent to change over to their other side. It just gets my goat that they don't follow the rules when other schools have gone out of their way to comply. It would be one thing if they could not afford new uniforms but they are buying new already.....just venting as a former AD.
