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?

Not (absent some specific instructions to the contrary in your state / association)

Headbands must be a circular design, with no extensions.

2015-16 NFHS Interpretations

SITUATION 4: An official notices members of Team A are wearing headbands that have extensions. RULING: Illegal. The coach should be informed that the headbands with extensions are illegal and the players will not be allowed to enter the game wearing them. (3-4-5b)
