I think that depends on who you worked for, because it was basically prohibited before that time from my experience. I believe we were not allowed to wear them soon after I mentioned. If you are referencing only the NF Mechanics, that might be a different story. I only worked with a handful of people that had them after I first started and those were usually old-timers that were not getting with the times and stubborn, but those were not varsity games either.
