These things have come up recently between umps and coaches and I'm straddling the fence. I personally don't care unless it is "bandanna" related (gang colors??), and even then I find it to be something I enforce because I'm told to. I wrote my state interpreter today and I'd like to throw it out to you guys. What do you think?
as "just plain cloth"
Not allowed if it has a knot, is a violation of school uniform colors (3-2-7), is "brightly colored" (bandanna definition), or interferes with the safe wearing of the helmet.
Probably to be ignored.
