Fashion Police-Sleeve Length

[The_Rookie]

Regarding the sleeve length of t-shirt under the jersey. My understanding of the rule is this:

Both sleeves must be the same length on a player. There is no requirement that all players match each other on sleeve length. Some may choose short, some may choose long or some may choose to go bare arms.

Anyone have anything different?

I had an old vet challenge me on this

Looks correct to me.

What did the old vet say when you guys pulled out the rule book?

Undershirts must be similar in color to the uniform jersey, and shall not have frayed edges. Undershirt sleeves shall be the same length. Note that this rule does not require all players to wear the same length sleeves on their undershirts, but each individual player must have sleeves the same length on the undershirt when worn.

[Camron Rust]

Agree with the above. Requiring all players to match each other in the length is wrong.

You mean just telling the guy "Billy & Bob on the internet say I'm right" isn't sufficient?

Exactly my reasoning. Possibly needed to win a bar bet.
