I can't find anywhere in the rulebook where it says the shorts must match. For that matter I can't find where the jerseys must match.

Am I not reading it correctly?

Would love to have a word with these plumbers!!!

O-o officials screwed the pooch on this one, big time.

We do not have any sayso regarding shorts other to ensure they are worn properly.

Crap like this does wonders for our credibility and reputations as a group.

Do us all a favor and make sure this gets brought to the attention of their assignor.

Go ahead, I am one. I'm listening.
Oh, you meant one of those officials there who made that call, not all plumbers in general, right?

So I recall. Sorry to besmirch your honorable profession. Of course I meant in the figurative sense..

Justacoach,

what about the size of logos on the shorts?

3.4.5 SITUATION: Prior to the jump ball to start the game, the officials observe that the five Team B starters are all wearing pants which have (a) a manufacturer's logo & a school's mascot which meets the proper dimension limitations; or (b) a manufacturer's logo that exceeds the limitation of 2¼ square inches by 2¼ square inches in any one dimension.

RULING: Legal uniforms in (a). In (b), illegal pants. The Team B head coach is charged directly with a technical foul. (3-6-2; 10-5-4)
