The uniform rules are there for a reason, to identify one team from another and to make sure each player has legible numbers. That is why I would have issued a technical foul to the team with dark blue jerseys, black borders, and shadow dark blue numbers. The spirit of the uniform rules is broken (the numbers are illegible), thus the uniforms are illegal per the God rule (Rule 2-3).

We already have a rule to address uniforms. We have very specific things that can be worn and this jersey is legal at this moment and will be illegal in a few years. So you are arbitrarily taking what you feel is right and giving a penalty to something that is already directly addressed.

Again not a very good career move if you ask me. The supervisor has to be able to support you in the usage of a rule. What you are suggesting is a personal opinion about a very specific rule and requirement.
