Uniforms

Does the color of the home uniform for JV's need to be white or is that only for the varsity level.

That most likely depends on what the state governing body has to say on the matter, so it's going to be hard for anyone here to tell you for sure what the rule is unless we know what area you are in. In that case, someone here may be able to get you an answer.

In Illinois, it only applies to varsity.

I haven't heard of any state where this is enforced below the varsity level. The rule is the same, and many states want lower level high school violations to be reported; but I haven't seen anyone here state that they were supposed to call the Technical Foul in JV games.

Here in VA the VHSL briefed that it only applied to Varsity.

And we did have a GV game at the beginning of the season that started off with 10 free throws.

Glad I wasnt in that game!!!!!

This was from the Massachusetts Division II state semi-finals at the TD Banknorth Garden. Catholic Memorial went on to win the state title (in their road reds btw). I was at this game and no free throws were shot at the beginning of the game so I can only assume that the MIAA gave them some sort of waiver to wear the uniforms.

I don't understand how a school that demands 5 digits in tuition can't afford to purchase uniforms that comply with the rules??????

Alaska took the hardline.

Click Here to see the memo from the head of the Alaska School Activities Association. They basically said, you had 3 years advance notice. If you didn't take care of it by now, tough luck.

They did come out early in the season and allow for a visiting team to wear whites while the home team wore darks during any 3-day tournaments. But one team always had to wear white.

Was this for subvarsity, too? Or just varsity?

If you had clicked on the link that he provided and actually READ the memo, you wouldn't be asking that.

A state could change this and do as it wishes, but the official NFHS policy as stipulated in the comments on the 2004-05 rules revisions is that this rule only applies to varsity uniforms.

"The new rule only affects varsity uniforms; lower level programs may still continue to wear "light-colored" uniforms as home jerseys."
