Sleeves, etc '15-'16

I'm not the one who needs help comprehending what is being said.

Someone else said that under the OLD rule, it was not possible to know what all the school colors are. (Since headbands/wristbands under the OLD rule had to match any school color) I replied that all you had to do under the OLD rule is look at their uniforms to figure out what their colors are.

In every other post in this thread I have tried to make the point that the NEW rule says that bands/sleeves/tights/etc have to now match the predominant color on the uniform if they're not black/white/beige. The problem is that others haven't read the NEW rule and decide to post anyway.

Here is your first post, ODog:

EVERYTHING (sleeves, bands) must be the same color for all team members.

The items (bands, sleeves), however, do not need to match the predominant color of the uniform. They just need to match each other, for all team members, and be one of the potential four colors listed above.

Hope you get your books soon!

If they're not black/white/beige, they DO have to match the predominant color of the uniform. Maybe in the bolded part above you are saying that they don't have to be the predominant color of the uniform because they can be black/white/beige...you didn't specify that though. 3-5-4a now says "Headbands and wristbands shall be white, black, beige, or the predominant color of the jersey, and shall be the same color for each item and all participants. They must be the same color as any sleeves/tights worn"

Yes, they do. All items have to be the same color for all team members and must be white, black, beige, or the predominate color of the jersey being worn. I'm confused though because your first sentence says they have to be the predominate color of the uniform.

Hey lookie there, I quoted the exact rule again that you seem to think I don't know.

Had, being past tense, as in the previous rule since that's what I was talking about. And I'm the one who wasn't reading....

Probably true 99% of the time. My hometown high school colors are blue and white. Some school uniforms have some degree of red, especially the football, baseball, and softball, uniforms. Red is not a school color. Several years ago the new football coach was almost run out of town by a group of alumni old timers for dressing the football team in red helmets.

If it's in their uniform, it's a school color for the sake of the OLD headband rule.

In practicality, I agree with you. That's how I use to handle it in my games. I wasn't going to ask players to prove that the headband was a school color if said color was on any part of their uniform.

For an old written test, citation please. I've given you an example (above) where a color worn on the uniform is definitely not a school color. I know this for a fact. I taught in that school system. I coached in that school system. All three of my children participated in several sports at that high school. The school colors were blue and white. Red was not a school color.

If it's on the uniform, I'm counting it as a school color.

I know "school color" is gone.

Again, I did the same thing on the floor, in a real game.

Old written test? NFHS citation please.

Is it possible that the NFHS changed the wording because of the imprecision of the phrase "school color"?

Note: To add to my post above: When the alumni old timers complained about the new football coach dressing the team in red helmets, the local newspaper published an article in which it was determined that the school colors were only blue and white.

In very, very few cases, there may be a difference between school uniform colors, and school colors. The old rule stated school colors.

sorry to continue this abysmal thread....but, i am going to anyway. but i am not going to talk about color since in Iowa they can do whatever they want! But girls are wearing headbands that tie in the back so they have tails on them. Legal or not?

Which is how this whole nonsense thread was started ... by you ... who doesn't have his new rules book.

That's funny since I didn't start the thread, and I posted the new rule verbatim just a few posts up.

Better quit while you're ahead, junior.
