How about navy blue under black? You know there is going to be at least one kid

He'll be taking it off.

Black means black.

What about faded black? Or what if you have an Opal Black jersey and you wear a plain black undershirt? Does that apply too?

Peace

I'm color blind, I would literally have to stare at the kids for about 5 minutes to notice.

Hopefully, you don't do too many games with a one man crew.

There are have been many games where I would report a team as 'black' and then when my partners have a call I notice them saying 'red'.

In AAU and summer leagues I quite often have to ask players what color they are wearing.

Wouldnt surprise me if they show up in navy...But yes, black should make my life at least a little bit easier.

My problem is the lack of consistency.

My problem is coaches that don't care about what the rule is and 1) make the official enforce it and 2) get mad when the official(s) enforce (or fail to enforce) it in a way they don't like.

If you are bothered by inconsistent enforcement, the answer is simple: don't let your players wear illegal undershirts. Tell coaches that do that you don't appreciate that and that you expect them to honor the rule. You are just as responsible as we are for making sure the rules are followed, especially when you have total control over the situation.
