Maybe I'm wrong on what constitutes "centered vertically," but then why do the NFHS own graphic slides show the number clearly higher then the vertical center?

I agree that the uniforms in the original post are difficult to declare illegal and to charge a penalty to the coach, but I would, at least, contact my assigner, who would contact the state governing body and let them take it from there.
Note that the NFHS slide shows the jersey untucked, while the rule deals with the visible portion of the jersey which, of course, must be tucked in by rule. Tucked, or untucked, would vary the visible portion of the jersey, which would vary the centering aspect of the rule.
