The bigger issue I've seen with the shared libero jersey (other than another person's sweat on it), is the players not leaving the bench area to change the jersey's. I've had to converse with coaches about this more than once this pre-season already because girls are changing shirts in the gym area, not away from the gym as is required.
So let's say you have to file a report, and you know you have the Libero number 1 at fault for something. How are you going to know which one is wearing that with multiple people on the roster wearing the same number, even at separate times? Not like I'm going to ask the libero, "Now are you Katie or Susie?"
