Pre-game Warm-ups
 
3-6 Simplified & Illustrated

"There is no restriction on size of logo/trademark/reference for warm-up apparel, including shooting shirts. Because these items of apparel are not worn by players in the game, the logo/trademark/reference restrictions do not apply."

How about black wrist bands, about 6 inches wide, with a name, i.e. "Gavin" on it?

Had a Varsity game the other night. Visitors wore red jerseys. Every player during the warm-ups had their shirts tucked in very nicely. It is a POE from our state to make sure all players have their shirts tucked in during warm-ups...just as they would in a game...and no jewlery, etc. during warm-ups.

Well, these players also had big black wristbands on with a person's name on them. I asked one of the players during warm-ups what was up with the black wrist bands. He said, a player had passed away...and they were showing respect for him. He also stated that they would not wear these during the game.

Watta ya got?

While, by the book, the black bands are illegal and should not be worn during warm-ups, I would likely miss seeing them for a few minutes until just prior to the start of the game.

I was conversing with the table crew making sure that they knew their duties. ;) When the players come off the court as the pre-game ends, they can take off their wrist bands.

If my partner sees them and asks for them to be removed, I've got an OOO.
