A question for the Fashion Police.

I am sure that we have all seen some leg sleeves with pads in the knee area.

This afternoon in my boys' FR game a player for the Visitor's (who were wearing blue shirts and shorts with gold trim) wore good old fashion knee pads. The knee pads were white. No other player on the Visitor's wore knee pads or leg sleeves.

I am old school and believe that real knee pads are not sleeves, in fact, when the knee sleeves were added to the rules my opinion was that if they had knee pads incorporated into the sleeve that they were then knee pads and not knee sleeves.

Which begs the question, if the Visitor's had two other players wearing knee pads: one player wearing blue knee pads and a one player wearing gold knee pads. Do we have anything? I believe we have nothing.
