If the color restriction change was by itself in a vacuum, I would be opposed to it. Since they made leg sleeves and arm sleeves legal, I think these items need to be the have tighter color restrictions, otherwise all the color could be confusing. (eg. Home team in white, visitor in red. A home team player is wearing red tights and red sleeves on both arms. That's a lot of red on a white player) This isn't an issue with head bands and wrist bands. However, I am glad they changed the head band rule for the sake of consistency.
