Speaking of headbands, has anyone had to have a player remove a headband for being wider than 2 inches??

I have had many headbands this season that are made by Nike that are wider than 2 inches and have had the player remove the headband. I was just informed this weekend that when the headband is not worn the actual headband is not wider than 2 inches but it streches wider while being worn (made of a spandex type material).

Has anyone else seen these types of headbands and what / if anything have you done about them?

Shouldn't it get narrower as it stretches; not wider.

You would think so but its not the case with these...

Here is a link with a pic of the type of headbands I am talking about.

That's a big headband!!!!! Have not seen those!

I don't care how big it is when it's not being worn, it's the width while being worn that's important.

If a player on a team with dark blue jerseys chooses to wear a dark blue headband, can he or she wear white wristbands ?

I know that all teammates must wear the same color headbands or the same color wristbands, and the only option for either piece of equipment is the predominate color of the jersey or white, but do headbands and wristbands for the same team have to be the same color ?

Legal Examples:
White jerseys, white headbands, white wristbands.
Blue jerseys, white headbands, white wristbands.
Blue jerseys, blue wristbands, blue headbands.

Legal or illegal ?
Blue jerseys, white headbands, blue wristbands ?
Blue jerseys, blue headbands, white wristbands ?

Hey, I remember that from the lobotomy. . . .

From NevadaRef: "When wearing headbands and/or wristbands, all players must wear the same color"

NevadaRef: The "and/or" is giving me some problems. If all the players on the red team are wearing red headbands and white wristbands, then they are all wearing the same color headbands and the same color wristbands. Does that satisfy the uniform requirements ? I'm not disagreeing with you, I would just like another citation, for example a casebook citation, that doesn't contain the term "and/or".

In WV, girls have gone to wearing prewrap as a head band. Now before everyone gets up in arms about the illegality, we called our state interpreter who in turn called Mary Struckoff and we were told LEGAL. What a bunch of crap. Maybe they will address it next year - but it was obvious they didn't want to address it this year.
