The result of this to my eyes took the color from purple to an almost gray color. All night I thought this was somewhat annoying, separating the white from the almost gray. Not until I got home did it dawn on me that this is not only annoying but illegal, is it not?

3-4-6: The torso of the team jersey shall be the same single solid color from the base of the neck to the bottom of the team jersey, and from side insert to side insert.

You know, as long as I can read the number on the front and back, and distinguish two distinct colors, I don't give a darn what they wear. I am tired of being the fashion police instead of an official. Yes, I will enforce the rule though.....sigh. A dozen fashion questions on the exam this year!!!
