If a player has an illegally colored undershirt, I ask, "Coach, follow me now, is she wearing that t-shirt for religious reasons?" Once the answer is yes, we're off the hook.
I don't do this in a high school game.

there is not a loophole and you are not off the hook. you can get a religous exception for headwear for sure and likely other things but you have to go through the official state association to get it. you cant just show up on game day and declare religion...
and if it was religious the player could probably get the proper colored shirt.
