undershirts
 
Watching the Navy-Army game on CBS College Sports, Army player 12 has a grey shirt on under white uniform.

What's the rule state?

It states he can wear a t-shirt.

Any colors in NCAA?

I believe NBA forbids undershirts entirely.

In NFHS the undershirt has to be the color of the torso of the jersey. I thought the NCAA had a similar rule.

No, they don't. It has to be "similar in color." The NCAA rule is the same.

That's what I was trying to figure out as the one Army player has a grey undershirt on with white uniform.

Gray is similar to white - it isn't like he had a black shirt on :rolleyes:

He'd be a Midshipman masquerading as a Knight then if that was the case.

Gray is not white...I am making him take it off!

West Point doesn't have any white shirts...come on!

I've never had to enforce this rule in a high school game, just middle school. (Our board has made it clear: this rule applies at all levels.) Most people will not raise a fuss when you enforce the undershirt rule. If anything, they get a bit annoyed of the lack of consistency, and that they weren't informed before about the rule.

The one exception: Middle school girls. I saw one girl burst into tears when she found out she couldn't wear her T-shirt, one try to tuck the sleeves into the uniform (doesn't work), and one outright refuse to play without a t-shirt. (All cases: red unis, white T-shirts.) That age and gender make for a sensitive combination.

The gray t-shirt in question was closer to black than it was to white as it was a darker shade

At least he wasn't wearing his BDUs, although there is the winter BDUs.

Adam Mon Jan 24, 2011 05:00pm

I don't believe anyone is wearing BDUs any longer.
