Arm sleeves • Must be a solid color. • May be black, white, beige or any color contained in the game jersey. • Teammates must wear the same color arm sleeves.

Leg/Knee sleeves • Must be a solid color. • May be black, white, beige or the same color as the majority color of the game pants (as determined by the color/neutral zone of the game jersey. • Knee pads (i.e., volleyball-type pads) are considered knee sleeves for the purpose of the rule. • Teammates must wear the same color leg/knee sleeves.

Undergarments (tights) • May extend below the game shorts and must be the same color as the majority color of the game shorts (as determined by the neutral zone of the game jersey), white, black or beige. • All teammates must wear the same color.

these are ncaa-m rule as recently posted by art hyland. as you can see, all tights must be same color. all leg sleeves must be same color. all arm sleeves must be same color. but tights, leg sleeves and arm sleeves do not have to be the same color. without seeing duke uniforms, they could have players wearing black tights, white leg sleeves, and blue arm sleeves and be legal.

I never thought that I would ever being saying this, but thank God for the simpler (with exception for the ambiguous compression shorts rule) NFHS fashion rules: headbands, wristbands, arm sleeves, knee sleeves, lower leg sleeves, and tights, shall be the solid color black, white, beige, or the predominant color of the jersey, and the same color for each item, and all participants.

Simpler, yes, but a pain in the ass to enforce. We've already had a team wearing what would've been legal last year -- all wearing black headbands and white leg sleeves. Not our fault, of course, but something I wish we just didn't have to deal with. Watching a team scramble with less than 15 minutes before game time looking for white headbands or prewrap puts all the focus on that nonsense and not the game itself. And of course we're the bad guys -- cause the JV crew let them do the exact same thing just minutes before.
