I don't expect each coach to match but I do think they need to have something with the school name on it (or something neutral, "khaki, black, white or grey".

What's it like in your hometown? If a team's colors were green and black, would you let them wear an Eagles shirt? Etc., etc.?
I expect them to follow the rule, although each coach different is ok, as long as the required colors are not ignored. I don't expect all coaches to have team names, but no, not other names. Certainly not club names if the players are not allowed them.

Of course, what can we do w/o OOO? All we can do is tell them they are not observing the rules, but they usually won't have an alternate.
