There is a third choice that you failed to mention. Who says that you have to make him take them off? If it is decided that due to the color, or the length of the tights, that this is illegal equipment, even with the signed medical excuse, then just inform the coach that he can't play with the tights. I would never tell a player that he, or she, has to remove illegal equipment, i.e. earrings, jewelry, etc., because, by rule, they don't have to, unless they want to play. Semantics? Yes. Legal liability? Hopefully no.
