Tights vs. Compression shorts

No direction locally on compression shorts.

I'm pretty strict about fashion issues but without further clarification from the NFHS (what's uniform color, what's the difference between leg sleeves, tights, or compression shorts) I'm on the side of the fence that let's the kid play with anything that can be liberally interpreted as NFHS legal.

This should make you happy. 3-5-7, compression short section should be removed. It hasn't been modified since they made the color rules and allowed tights. It still says undergarments can't extend below the pants...except now we have tights...that go to ankles. Compression shorts, as noted, not supposed to extend below pants. Those are barely visible but rule says they have to match color of pants. While the tights can be black, white beige or predom color...and go down to ankles.
I ignore this section. It can't apply anymore.

Check again. That's the old rule, change was made last year to "uniform color", whatever the heck uniform color is? Shorts? Jersey?

My version says compression shorts "predominant color." I checked again...and again. I've proven over the years I don't see so well. However, I'm a really good reader.

Correct. "Predominate color of uniform".

It used to say shorts.

What's a uniform? Jersey? Shorts? Both?

Again, instead of fretting about it, either make up your own interpretation or ask your leaders what they think. You're not going to get a new answer here.

I'm not looking for an answer on the Forum. Without a clarification from the NFHS it's impossible for us to interpret what they want in regard to color limitations for compression shorts.

This is how I presently interpret it:

Do it. No one will complain. I doubt that the NFHS would even notice. And, if they do, I've got your back.

Silly NFHS monkeys.

I really would like to see if you pay as much loving attention to your play calling as you do the uniform rules. Really I would.
