And just how do you determine that every player is wearing the same color undergarments?

I'm not sure. But I was talking with a high school track official last night, and he said that a couple years ago, there was a directive (from the NFHS or the state? I don't know.) that officials were to ensure that ALL undergarments were of a legal color. He said that lasted about an hour into the first meeting.

At a girls Varsity scrimmage had a partner who tried to go down the path of matching bra straps. He thought that they needed to match the torso ,I very gently steered him away from a bra check.

Very, very good idea to get him down a different path.

Who would even think to worry about the color of bra straps?? It would not even cross my mind!

As for socks, if you really want to look ignorant make the team change into matching socks. I actually worked with a guy who was the R in a three man crew do that one night. Probably the best call he made all night, too. Guess how much fun that game was????

Maybe, but it could lead to 15-20 if he's not careful.

As other guys have said you don't go check but if teams come out with 2 boys wearing a white undershirt and 4 wearing green and another 1 wearing black then it's pretty easy to tell. Don't look for it but if its obivious take care of it is how I look at it.

Shirts are different, they're specifically addressed. The rules say nothing about "undergarments," though. That's BITS' point.
