Nothing in rulebook about socks. I made them remove them. Distracting and confusing and worn for adornment.

Are there restrictions on socks? Nothing clear in the rules or caseplays.
A1 wearing one long sock and one short sock?
A1 wearing different colored socks?
A1 is wearing 2 solid color socks same color as uniform top which extend above the knee?

I don't believe socks are part of the uniform... but 3-5-1 is your friend if you were the referee & deemed the socks to be dangerous or confusing.

Schools do not issue socks anymore. The NF took any reference to socks 8 or 9 years ago because schools or teams do not control what kind of socks. There was a rule that time about how many logos and the size of the logos on the socks. Well that was a disaster and the NF realized this was not an issue the rules should try to regulate.
