More on Uniforms - Slightly OT

My family and I went to the National Mall in DC yesterday where a girls youth lacrosse tournament was going on. We came across one game where both teams were wearing the exact same dark green jerseys. Only difference was one had a white stripe running vertical (under the arm to the shorts) and the other team had yellow. As they ran around.....there was very little way to tell the teams apart.

To exacerbate the issue; they were 95% Caucasian, most girls were the same height/size, and most had had brown or dirty-blond hair pulled back in ponytails. We watched the game for about 15 minutes. While the coaches, players, and parents may have had little problem due to familiarity (assumption on my part), the officials struggled mightily......it was crazy!
