I never believed that anything mentioned on this site will create changes in NFHS rules. But we can still post opinions.

(Note: The NFHS basketball rules committee actually looked at two of my suggestions this year, so one person can make a difference.)

All I was doing was responding to your statement:

Good question. All I did was try to give an good answer.

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.
