Tie Die Socks
 

...this was a first for me last night. The home team was wearing Tie Die Socks. I can't find any problem with it in the book other than if an official deemed it confusing. Any other comments?

It's a reasonably common occurrence. Let it go. Heck, socks aren't even part of the uniform for the "logo" restrcition.

This is a good day to agree with Bob...let it go, heck, some kids don't even seem to HAVE socks on with those shorty socks they have these days.

Remember the good ol' days...with the knee high socks? As a matter of fact...I have seen some kids wearing the knee highs as of late.

That's how these were displayed. I knew there was nothing preventing it. Just something I never saw before, then again, it was Jr. High girls.

Bob,

Just wondering, where are you seeing it at? The Jr. High or the Varsity level? Thanks.

I know I'm not Bob, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express...

I've seen them at all levels, including jr. college.

:D

M&M,
I was on the border of your territory last night. That's interesting. I would have guessed it to more at the lower levels.

Good thing they didn't let you in. :D

Where were you at?

Playing the role of Chuck Elias today will be...

:D I was in Arcola.

Aw, I do it on purpose just to watch his reaction:

Too close for comfort. We'll be looking at new border guards...

I like that new gym, and the way they have it set up with the official's dressing rooms right off the floor. You don't have to dress in a classroom with no blinds. :eek:

Yes, I thought it was a very nice gym and dressing room as well. It was my first time there and it was enjoyable.

Depending on the crew, according to some, there would either be two blinds or three blinds in that situation.

Heck, I've seen players with two different socks and shoes on! No joke...one of the players said she and another girl like to be different. Think I will wear one NB 608 and a Nike shox next...I like to be different too!

:p

Enjoy! I'll bet your evaluator will notice! ;) :D

I like to be different too....just like everyone else. :)

Tanner,
You need to so some volleyball. They wear one tie-dye of one color on one leg and another color on the other. Another player will have the same colors on opposite legs. That's actually how some of the younger teams keep up with proper rotation and where the setter is positioned. Some teams (basketball, rec league soccer, and VB just do it because they're goofy!:D Actually, now that I think about it, the Wabash Valley women's basketball team wore tie-dyed socks sometimes and sometimes one red and one black.

I know you mentioned "rec league soccer" (which follows FIFA rules), but if my fading memory doesn't fail me, I belive both FIFA and NFHS rules both address socks being the same color for all members of the team....or words to that effect.

The key words are "rec league" and not necessarily a sanctioned league or one registered with the USSF. Some of them follow the rules for uniforms very loosely.

Oh yeah... I do remember seeing them wear their socks like that... good call!
