I did not indicate that they would forfeit. I disagreed with your sentiment that the coach would simply take a T and the game would continue. If there are 2 teams with same-colored jerseys, more will need to be done to continue. No one, and I mean no one, would just give T and then start the game. Then you and others go on to describe all kinds of changes to be made before continuing the game. Well, no kidding, then you do not have the original problem do you? one even suggested bending the rules to accommodate, lol. Follow the uniform rules to the letter as written but then not adjudicate accordingly because of it. That's a laugh.

And shirts and skins? Did someone really legitimately suggest that? Have fun with the lawsuit.

You must be rather new to this. Back in the day it was not totally uncommon to have teams show up with the same basic color uniforms when the rule was written slightly different. That was when the home team was to wear the "lighter" jersey which could be gold, grey or orange that was the home team. We would just play the games if there was something about the jerseys that were identifiably different. So this is how it used to be and to those of us that have been around some time, that was not and uncommon choice.

You do realize the shirts and skins comment was a joke? I for one get annoyed by Billy sometimes, but that was a joke. I even know that.

You'd be wrong about that. At one time, it wasn't even a T. We did just play the game with NO adjustments.

Exactly. It was quite unlikely that the number fonts or the trim thickness was going to be the same. There was always SOMETHING different....maybe it was V-neck vs Scoop-neck.

Yea, I can hear it now as the ball goes out of bounds between two players...

"Blue....V-neck" and then moments later on another play.."Blue...scoop neck" or better yet "Blue...with helvetica font numbering" and "White...with thicker trim". In that case the game would be a travesty and it could....be forfeited, lol.

When we would have teams with similar colors, we would pick something different and call the one by that color or call the other one white. Often when gold or gray was common, one team would have blue numbers or even grey numbers and we would call them "Blue" or "Grey" for the purposes of identification. It was not easy, but we still played the game. And we are not talking about big-time games with big-time budgets. We are talking about some elementary league or some freshman game and even in some cases varsity games.

I would just use the school names when making calls.

I would be wrong about what? Even since the rule was made a T, there were situations when a T was given and we moved on. We did not forfeit or not play the game when the uniforms were problematic by rule. As a matter of fact I had a summer game where we jerseys that were very close in color and we played. We complained about it, but we played. I did not give a year all these situations took place.

That was in reply to bucky's comment. I agree with you.

My bad. That is what happens when you do multiple things at the same time. I missed that you were responding to Bucky.

After you put the kids to bed, pull down the shades, and close the door, go on the Google and search images for "Shirts Versus Skins".

I discovered that shirts versus skins is not just a male phenomena.

I did not know that.

You may want to do this while the wife is at bingo.

And be sure to clear your search history afterward.
