That's probably the key here. If the whole team were wearing tights, you might have a point. That's what the definition of uniform means in English, everyone the same. It might be interesting to see a team try to come out in something like those track skin suits and see what the official reaction would be.

How about those unitards the Australian Women's team wears? Do they meet the definition of jerseys under Fed guidelines? Are they tucked in?
