Has there ever been a movement to have some process by which these types of things are approved and certified on regular basis so that officials don't have to mess with them?

For example, could state associations develop a process by which schools submit uniform designs online and receive an approval to document the uniform meets the required standards. I don't think many of miss the obviously illegal uniforms, but the stuff like having a patch half an inch too low on the jersey or the numbers are a quarter inch too narrow aren't as easy to spot. I don't think too many of us worry too much about those types of things to begin with, but it would be nice to know that the matter has already been looked at and approved. It would also benefit those schools that have someone without knowledge of the rules design uniforms that end up being illegal and then encounter the expense of buying a second set that are legal. If they have to get approval first, then they don't get the illegal ones made in the first place.

The same concept could be used for fields and courts. Someone could come out annually or biannually and inspect the fields/courts and certify them. Doesn't eliminate our responsibility to check for abnormal situations or things that might have been altered after the inspection, but hopefully it eliminates the problems that are hard/impossible to correct (court not marked properly or improper size).
