But understand the spirit of the rule and why it was written -- to prevent confusion. (i.e. undershirts of one team are similar in color to their opponents uniform)

Is white or yellow similar enough to gold that it will not cause confusion? Yes.

Given that the home team is required to wear white, that would mean that a white undershirt under a gold uniform (implictly the visiting team) IS a similar color to the opponents uniform and therefore not acceptable.

Even if the home team is not wearing white, it is not close enough for a "gold" uniform unless it is a really pale gold.

So if it's a really pale gold you will let them wear the white t-shirt, but if it's just sort of pale gold then you won't let them wear the white
t-shirt?

It's that kind of hair-splitting that (I believe) Brad is decrying here.

Yes. If they are wearing green uniforms, it helps if they are aliens. Or if they're from Iowa.

That boy is definitely not from western Iowa. You wouldn't catch any grass-headed idiots in those parts, and I should know because I teach in that part of the state.

So...all the grass-headed idiots are in eastern Iowa? That must make for some fun games.

Reminds me of an intramural team in college from the asian student association. They intentionally wore no numbers on front and completely identical black shirts, black shoes, black shorts and black headbands. They knew it could be difficult to tell asians apart and were trying to make it hard to pick up your man in a man defense. It actually worked, to an extent, but it didn't overcome the height disadvantage they had.

That makes no sense at all. If my team is wearing gold uniforms, what color is your team wearing? WHITE. So you're going to let one team wear white uniforms and the other team wear white t-shirts under their gold jerseys. C'mon Brad.

The rule was written the same reason all uniform rules are written: so the team looks like a team.

No, white is in no way similiar to gold. That's like saying blue is similiar to green.

Don't forget that he is going to treat both teams equally, so the home team in the white jerseys is going to be permitted to wear gold/yellow undershirts.
