Lagal Uniform
 
Is this uniform legal? I'm specifically referring to the us of two lines of names above the number.

You're asking about 3-4-4b:

Lettering above a number may be arched, but the first and last letters must
be on the same horizontal plane
, such plane shall not be below a plane
extending through the top of the number(s).
IMO, the uniforms you reference violate the highlighted portion of the rule.

I was gonna say this must be Illinois, and I was right. :)

The uniforms are legal if the opposing coach OK'd them.

I am going to have to disagree with MByron, here is a quote directly from the NFHS Uniform guidelines:

IDENTIFYING NAME
1. Team names and/or abbreviations or team member’s names
may be placed on the front of the jersey.
2. Lettering must be placed horizontally and may be arched. Names may
also be on multiple lines.

3. The first and last letters, either above or below the number, must be on
the same horizontal plane. When above the number, the plane may not
be below a plane extending through the top of the number(s). When
below the number, the plane may not be above a plane extending
through the bottom of the number(s).
4. Any point on any letter shall not be closer than one inch to any point
on any number(s).
5. Any form of decorative accent (i.e., paw, halo, crown, star, etc.) in a
name or abbreviation is only permitted above the number.
6. If a tail is used in the lettering of an identifying name or abbreviation,
the name or abbreviation must be located below the number.

Correct. The uniforms are perfectly legal.

I say legal only if the name "Lady" is considered to be a decorative accent.(see # 5)
