White T-shirt under Red jersey
Anyone know why a player for Dayton is wearing a white undershirt with red jersey? Dayton v. Virginia Tech

That is not legal attire. Per Rule 1, Section 23, Article 1 of the NCAA Men's basketball rulebook, "An undershirt is considered to be part of the game jersey and must be a color similar to that of the game jersey as defined by the neutral zone." White is not similar to red, so the player cannot play while wearing a white undershirt under a red jersey.

Most NCAA officials do not care about apparel items. Probably a function of how much the individual assignor cares.
Do a search of this forum and you will find a thread from several years ago with an NCAAW player wearing a long-sleeve undershirt during NCAA tournament games. This was not legal attire back then, but the rule has since been changed. |
Perhaps the player has an allergy to dyes and has an approved exception from the NCAA. I doubt we'll ever know.

For what it's worth, in the low-level college games I officiate the assigners expect uniform rules to be enforced.
As I once heard from an assigner, "If I can't trust you to enforce the easy stuff..." |

As a high school official, this always looks odd to me but knowing how strict the NBA is in regard to uniforms and equipment, I assume that this is legal in the NBA. |

H. PLAYER/TEAM CONDUCT AND DRESS (1) Each player when introduced, prior to the game, must be uniformly dressed. (2) Players, coaches and trainers must stand and line up in a dignified posture along the foul lines during the playing of the American and/or Canadian national anthems. (3) Coaches and assistant coaches must wear business attire, which shall include a sport coat or suit coat in the case of male coaches. (4) While playing, players must keep their uniform shirts tucked into their pants, and no T-shirts are allowed. (5) The only article bearing a commercial ‘logo’ which can be worn by players is their shoes. |
Compression Shirts ...

Maybe these aren't undershirts? What I see are sleeves that are not quite as long a regular undershirts, and these are always skin tight. Maybe these are some type of compression shirt worn for medial reasons? |

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? https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.z...=0&w=319&h=180 |
