New uniform rule

Yes, but as Nevada pointed out, NFHS may want this as a team T rather than individual. It may be in a casebook interpretation (a la all standing at once or the all changing the jerseys situation that Nevada referenced). It could also be part of the new rule itself - saying either 1 T for the whole team, 1 T for each player or no T's at all (just report it to the state). Maybe we'll only have to T 'em up if both teams have similar jerseys and neither has alternates into which to change.

While I see your point.....team T or individual T...., if the NFHS desires consistency in the rules, I don't see why it would really differ from how we'd enforce a penalty for a team with otherwise illegal uniforms....for example: missing numbers on the front, or illegal logos on the shirt, team name too close to the numbers, etc.

Of course, recent NFHS committees have made some pretty tangential rulings and statements.
