NFHS Basketball Rule 3-5 Team Member’s Equipment, Apparel

Modify Rule 3-5-3c to the following:

All sleeves/tights shall be the same solid color.

Modify Rule 3-5-4 to the following:

a. Anything worn in the hair (including headbands as shown in Figure “C” below) must be soft and

unadorned but may be any color or multi-colored and do not have to match for all teammates. The 2-inch

maximum width provision for headbands will be waived, and headbands with extensions as shown in

Figure “A” below will be permitted.

b. Protective soft headgear as shown in Figure “B” below will be permitted provided the headgear is not

abrasive, hard, or dangerous to any other player and which is attached in such a way it is highly unlikely it

will come off during play.

c. Bobby pins 2” or less will be allowed.

d. Wristbands may be any color or multi-colored and do not have to match for all teammates, but must be

made of moisture-absorbing material.

e. Silicone and rubber bracelets, rubber bands, bandanas, etc., are illegal as they are not moisture-absorbing

or appropriate for the game of basketball.

NFHS Basketball Rule 3-6 Logo/Trademark/Reference

Modify Rule 3-6-1 to the following:

One visible manufacturer’s logo/trademark/reference or school logo/mascot is permitted on the compression shorts,

arm and leg compression sleeves, and wristbands. Multiple manufacturer’s logos/trademarks/references and/or

school logos/mascots are permitted on the headbands as shown in Figures “D” and “E” below.



So now..... rather than the simple "everything the same for everybody," rule, it's headbands can be different, the ninja turtles are okay. Here's the annoying part-- 3-5-3c All sleeves/tights shall be the same solid color. But wristbands can be multi colored and different colors for everybody, unless I'm reading it wrong.



I'm frustrated with our association's decision to make these changes.

Why do these exceptions only apply to girls basketball??

And with a bunch of MEN interpreting the 2" Bobby pin restriction, you could end up with some rather LARGE 2" Bobby pins. [emoji3]
