Happens frequently. Sometimes, we don't know there's a problem until they remove their warmups.

Had one yesterday. About to toss the ball... "white this way... blue that wa....", (sigh) the blue jumper had a black undershirt.

"Coach, I need a sub..." No objections, but it's far less annoying to catch in pre-game.

Earlier this week, during player introductions, my partner and I noted that a visiting starting player wearing a very dark purple road jersey was wearing a black undershirt, with extremely short sleeves. We both decided to let it go but to mention to the player and coach that said player should get a purple undershirt.

In the second period a visiting substitute takes off his warmup jacket and heads to the table to enter the game. He's wearing a long sleeve black undershirt under his dark purple jersey, the long sleeve black undershirt being much more noticeable than the starter wearing an extremely short sleeve black undershirt.

Agree.

Dark Purple, Black; Potato, Potahto; Tomato, Tomahto. We let him enter.
