Maybe NFHS should just require all uniforms to be uni-body suits like skiers or swimmers wear (with all pads, etc. underneath) and then we won't have to worry about all of the fashion police rules we have now.

Where in the NFHS Rules does it say that the wearing of knee pads and elbow pads prohibited?
