They already are pretty simple. It is the gymnastics some people try to go through to get out of enforcing them that makes it complicated.

Anything that isn't jersey, shorts, shoes or socks:
1) must be solid black/white/jersey colored.
2) must be the same for all teammates.

The jewelry rule can remain as-is.

Except for shoes and socks and beige being a legal color, that is the case now. Good luck getting shoes covered. With the fit of shoes being of the greatest importance, I doubt you'll ever see a color restriction on them. Likewise with medical equipment. If a doctor directs them to wear a brace, I doubt they have the choice of colors.

From waist to knee, what's the difference (to an observer) between compression shorts (uniform color), short tights (black, white, beige, or jersey color, same color for all), or leg sleeves (black, white, beige, or jersey color, same color for all), that cover the entire thigh (waist to knee)?

And what defines a uniform color (compression shorts)? Jersey? Shorts?

With the exceptions above, I agree that everything else is pretty simple.

Get rid of all references to compression shorts in the rulebook and everything is pretty simple.

And get rid of beige as a legal color for equipment. It's 2016. Prewrap comes in all colors of the rainbow now.
