There shouldn't be anything other than the unaltered strip...IMO.
I did have a kid last week that wore those and drew the breast cancer awareness symbol on them and a few kids that also used pink ankle wrap to represent the cause, as well. Nothing wrong with the wrap and nothing written on it, just bright pink....and the team was all black and orange.
The problem with letting too much go with things written on anything is...it may not offend you or I...but who else does it offend....? Maybe nobody, but this is just another example of "pushing the envelope." Can't have prayer in schools anymore....so sooner or later, someone is going to pull the Tebow with a John 3:16 on their eye blacks, and someone will have a tizzy.
I think you make teams leave them unaltered....just asking for trouble if you don't. They take 2 seconds to take on or off...some kid may sneak some into the game with something less than pertinent, and then now you've got a problem you could've fixed before the contest even started.
