I worked a boys high school varsity scrimmage back in the fall where both teams wore scrimmage vests, one team blue, and the other team white. Because it was only a scrimmage, we let both teams wear any color undershirt that the players wanted to wear, and we ended up with about a half dozen different color undershirts, including opponents with the same color undershirts.
It was not very easy to identify teams, especially during rebounding action under the basket.
Granted, the NFHS has gone overboard with some of the "Fashion Police" rules, but same of the color rules are really needed.
