Are mouth guards considered legal equipment? Must they conform to the color and logo requirements?

I believe someone talked about the future sock police (Nevada?) and the mouth guard police may not be far behind......

Mouth guards used to be required by MIAA but the policy was changed. Mouth guards were blamed for a lot of the player's getting sick. Dirty hands touching the mouth guard and then back in the mouth.

Now, in the MIAA mouth guards are 'recommended' not sure of the exact dates but for awhile mouth guards were 'required' by the MIAA.

In DE, for DIAA school games, an upper teeth mouth guard is required by the State. A player with braces who does not have one, the state prohibits the player from participating. Of course the game officials are charged with enforcing the state rule.

Nope, it was BillyMac.

Replacing Injured FT Shooter = Done for game?

BTW the mouth guard police have already come and gone in MA. The requirement to wear one was dropped a couple of years ago.
