Rule 1-5-3
Says a player cannot wear penalty-marker colored pads or gloves. So does your "white" ball flag make a players white pad, illegal? I know I'm splitting hairs here, but there is a reasonable expectation that officials have penalty markers, the whole "let's cover them up" seems a bit off base. I've seen one sr official have his newbies cover the balls with black tape and then tell them to make the black fit on a black strip on the shirt. Appearance is important, but the goal is to get the call(s) right. Do that enough times and they won't worry about how many flags you carry or if the balls are yellow and showing.
