It's not like they just sprung this on anyone, how long has it been 4 years that they have been saying that this is coming? The T I suppose is the only real way to get schools to respond....I'm guessing this was proably an issue at some point or they wouldn't have created the rule...
I have to agree. Several yeards back, one of the high schools I was at had blue and red uniforms and would pretty much dress opposite of whatever color the opponent wore. It does seem to go against common sense, but if you've tried to do a game with blue vs. purple or light gray vs. white uniforms, you might see why NFHS decided to adopt this rule.
