How is it not the same thing? There are states that not only did not use those particular shirts, but used them openly and were NF members. Heck even in my state some shootouts or tournaments used other color shirts. The rule is clear and it has been violated on many levels. Same freakin thing.

Rule 2-1-1 says:

The official's uniform shall be black-and-white stripes shirt, black pants, primarily black shoes and socks.

No, already been adopted. But no one is blowing a wad over the change as you seem to be. And the issue again is not if it is adopted, the issue is why it needed to be changed. It did not need to be changed and it is not a better mechanic when officials have a problem doing all the other things to report a foul (clear the players, get to the reporting area, use their voice properly, use the right wording to report the number and making eye contact with the scorer).
