I agree that it is ridiculous.

Not saying that I'd go this route (it would be a bit of a stretch), but one could argue:

that it is not "appropriate" for an indoor basketball game.

3-5-1: The referee shall not permit any team member to wear equipment or apparel which, in his/her judgment, is dangerous or confusing to other players or is not appropriate

or that this is a "head decoration"
3-5-4e: Head decorations and headwear, except those specified above, are prohibited

or that this is "unnatural" and could provide a "competitive advantage"
3-6-5: Equipment which is unnatural ... or to gain a competitive advantage shall not be permitted

Really though, if I saw this, I'd ignore it and bring it up to my association in case they wanted to address it.
