I admit I default to the color of the game shorts when it comes to compression shorts but it could easily be argued that we should go by the color of the jersey since NF doesn't mandate the game shorts' color.

NF could help itself - and us - if it did what NCAA does: Add in a definition of the uniform. NCAAW 1-22-1 defines the uniform as the game jersey and shorts. The rule book also says a perceptible majority (language added this season) of the game shorts has to be the color of the neutral zone of the jersey. Problem solved.

This will be costly for high schools. Most schools around here give each player two jerseys (home and road) and one pair of shorts.

That's fine but it doesn't have to be the way the NCAA does things. Just clarify the rule to say compression shorts have to be the same color as either the jersey or the game shorts. I think the intent of the rule is the color of the game shorts but putting it in writing wouldn't hurt.
