definition of an undershirt

I'm at works- books are at home. Thoughts?

There was an NFHS document a couple of years ago (a preseason guide, I believe) which showed that an undershirt was illegal if it was an impermissible color and showed in the V-neck portion of the team jersey. The fact that it had no sleeves didn't matter. If it could be seen in any way, then it was not to be worn if it didn't meet the color requirement.

I hate to utter this, but colored sports bras (slightly visible under the jersey), do they have to match the color of the jersey? They almost appear to be an undershirt, and are causing a little stir here in Utah.....

Why? A bra is NOT an undershirt and is not covered by the rule.

I would suggest ignoring the sports bra.

Agreed.

And the same *might* be true of the sleeveless undershirt, depending on the style of the jersey and the style of the undershirt.

What are you going to do about it, have her take it off?

I'd feel creepy even bringing it up.

Another straight line for Mark Padgett.

I had a partner last year who wanted to go there.

I made a pretty convincing argument of why it was venturing into creepy old guy territory.

He left it alone.

Thank God for legitimate common sense, even if it has to be coaxed out of dormancy. I'd be tempted to ask a partner if he had candy in his panel van if he insisted on going that route.

In all seriousness, with undershirts, you can make them take them off if they don't match the uniform. That's not an option with sports bras.

To answer Nevararef, if I am going to have her remove the sports bra: I am doing nuthin! As Sgt. Schultz said, "I see NUTHIN!!!!"

Why are you looking there?

I worked a scrimmage last weekend involving several teams in two gyms. Two teams walked into my gym wearing white reversible scrimmage vests. One coach immediately told his players to change. They did what they were told. Right there in front of everbody. I guess that I'm just too old fashioned, I looked away.

You say "old fashioned" as if that were a bad thing.

Hmmm. You may want to check with state law on exposing bras, but Fed says nothing.
