In Vermont, schools got waivers on the uniforms prior to the season [a couple still had gold home uniforms, but one school had a band of contrasting color for the school name on the front] and the officiating association was made aware before the season. The schools are aware that new uniforms are needed and the reasons for non-compliance.
It sounds like the school was made aware and they probably could have refused payment on the new ones delivered that were also illegal. If the officiating crew was instructed to issue the technical foul, then they simply were enforcing the rule. The school did the team members a disservice by not correcting the problem EVEN THOUGH THEY APPARENTLY WERE FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.
Consider the dead horse here thoroughly beaten.
