I don't understand why the school wasted their time in getting the proper uniform. The FED put this rule change in a few years ago (maybe not THAT many but seems so) to give schools time to budget for this. Nebraska and Iowa kept hammering that fact to the coaches every year at the rules meetings even if it became redundant to hear it.

On another note, why don't the FED allow these kinds of stripes? Just another freaking example of making us officials the freaking fashion police, and bad enough some of us have no sense of fashion (or so I've been told!).

I don't get it either. What's wrong with all white unis except numbers, names and school names?

Just saw an undated photo of North Lawndale uniform. Orange jersey, player wearing black undershirt. Oy, vey.

Maybe it was during warmup before the official advised him he would need to remove it outside of the gym confines if he wanted to play.

I'm going to disagree. It seems to me that according to the rules and the NFHS pdf document the star in the P is perfectly legal. The pdf doesn't state what you claim.

From the NFHS pdf document:

"Any form of decorative accent (i.e., paw, halo, crown, star, etc.) in a
name or abbreviation is only permitted above the number."

Basically the same as 3-4-4e in the rules book:
"Any form of decorative accent (e.g., paw, halo, crown, star) in an
identifying name or abbreviation is only permitted if the name or
abbreviation is located above the number."

I agree. This rule prevents decorations in/on numbers and below numbers. If schools turn their school name into a logo, then by this rule at least that's legal.

I surmise that the purpose of this rule is to keep the numbers plainly visible and in the proper position on the uniform.
