However, if you have a totally anal decision making body in your area or state, you may see teams buying white tee shirts and using magic markers after their first game to be legal.

But what about Middle School or CYO teams that can't take advantage of hand-me-downs?

Not sure how many lower level ADs & coaches keep abreast of rules, but i imagine this year will be a crash course in rule changes.
