While playing, players must keep their uniform shirts tucked into their pants, and no T-shirts are allowed.

The only article bearing a commercial ‘logo’ which can be worn by players is their shoes.

I believe that refers to t-shirts worn over the uniforms, probably in response to controversial statements printed on t-shirts in the past.

The rule does say "T-shirts" not "undershirts".

But the rule also states "while playing", insinuating that the t-shirt could only be worn "under" the jersey while playing, otherwise the jersey (and jersey number) would be obscured.

There have got to be a few NBA rule experts on the Forum, what's the real story?
