Great vengeance and furious anger...

While not a referee, I do spend a lot of time at games of various levels. To reiterate a point mentioned earlier I have never seen a sub-varsity level game have the "fashion" rules applied, even though I have seen it "warned" dozens (even by the same refs at different parts of the season). Girls pre-wrap color is the most comical.

At the Varsity level it really only appears like undershirts are what the refs focused on. I'll be honest though, because those pre-game talks happen a bit further away in a louder environment I can't be sure if they are actually discussing the sleeves/tights/bands as well. I just know I've seen kids sent back off for a t-shirt color, but not for tights/sleeves.

That being said it does appear most teams are getting better at compliance consistency (at the varsity level). Though I did point out to a kid who started cramping up in the 3rd quarter once "It's 75 degrees in here, you're sweating like a pig, and are wearing full arm under armour and full length tights. Maybe not such a good idea?".

We have some top notch varsity officials (state tournament) here that incorrectly treat prewrap around the entire head as a hair control device (no color restrictions), even though they've been told otherwise. Subvarsity officials observe these varsity guys and the hits just keep on coming.
