Knee PADS seem to be addressed as a "brace or guard", so to me it would seem these are legal items, and I would agree a uniform color is certainly appropriate, but apparently not required.
Again, some state organizations have addressed these items like they do in other situations. So it really does not matter what you or I or anyone else personally thinks. It only matters what the state or organizations think and how they want these things handled. We did not see these things until the last few years ago and really this year. So whatever they are or can be used for is really up to how they are interpreted by people with more power.
