NFHS rule 3-4 tells you how and why shirts can be illegal. See if you can find a penalty anywhere that states that you can't allow a player to wear that illegal shirt. All I can find is references to players being allowed to wear the shirts after being penalized with a technical foul.
You're trying to claim that a player can't be allowed to play wearing a different-colored shirt even if they are assessed with a "T" for wearing an illegal jersey. If you can find a rules citation that will back up your claim, please provide it.

Case play 3-4-6 References Rule 3-4-6b specifically..."RULING: The referee shall direct the home team to wear the REQUIRED WHITE JERSEY's...." The technical is for not having the REQUIRED white jersey's not for all jersey's not matching.
Case Book 3.3.6 Lets us know that normally the shirts and shorts have to be the same color except for this exception.
This conforms to Rule 3-4-6a. Since there isn't any approved ruling/case play in the case book that says a player can wear a different color jersey from their teammates then we have to revert back to Rule 3- 4-6a.
Every case play in relation to illegal uniforms involves the entire team except for one, undershirts with sleeves. That stands to reason that all players colors match.
