The AD had 5 years for new uniforms; this is the third season it's been a hard rule after years of warnings that it was coming. What did they do with last year's home whites? If there was a legitimate issue preventing compliance, he could have called the state. I can tell you that in my area, if this isn't enforced, the officials could expect to be taking the year off from the playoffs.
Now, apparently, the officials involved contacted their state to make sure they did it correctly and it seems they went with the way they were directed. My first call would be to my assigner, before the game started, to get his input.
I live at about 7000 feet, but I have to wonder just how thin the air is up there on your high horse.
