Thanks, that's what I thought.

So a beige headband is now legal. Does that mean beige sweatbands are legal? If not, then if a player is wearing beige pre-wrap as a hair-control device, can her teammates wear white sweatbands?

It's the same as the NCAAW rule. All "hair control devices" must be the same color, and that color can be black, white, beige or the predominant unifom color.

IF there needs to be a rule (and I would be okay with "no color restrictions"), then I think this change is good.

I vote no color restrictions.

But can the hair control devices be different from the sweatbands? In Men's rules, it doesn't matter which legal color you use for headbands or sweatbands; but everybody on the team has to be wearing the same color for ALL those items.

So, under the new FED rule, if a player is wearing beige or black pre-wrap to hold her hair, is her teammate allowed to wear white sweatbands? Or does the new rule make beige legal for sweatbands too?

My impression from what they've released, and we haven't seen the new text yet, is that beige and black are now valid colors, along with white and the pred. color of the jersey. And I would assume (you know where that gets us) that they're all lumped into one category. So everybody who wears any kind of sweat band or circumcranial hair control device, must all wear the same color.

My best guess and $0.02
