Prior to the game, an official notices that several Team A members are wearing beige pre-wrap around the entire head and blue wristbands. RULING: Illegal equipment in ; the headband color does not match the wristband color. The official shall inform the player and the head coach that these items are illegal and may not be worn during the game.
Yet another instance where the wording of the rule doesn't match the casebook play.

Sorry I cannot tell you the exact page of the slide shows, but this was a NF slide that shows what the intent of the rule is.
And Billy I would think you would know that the rulebook tells you what the rule says, the casebook tells you how to apply the rule. I think you read too much into the situation and what the rule meant. This was cleared up a long time ago.
Peace
