You haven't missed anything. Some officials just take their fashion police responsibilities to a new level.

Earlier this yr on a late Friday night, my P's and I were done our game and went for some chow at the local pancake establishment.

Cellphone rings and it's one of our more senior association officials who said he made a VB player take off his long-sleeve, Under Armor. We asked him why? Conversation ensues with my P's as I go to my car and get my books (how sad is that?).

Handed the books to my P so he could read the rule to the official over the cell. Oops.

Friggin uniform police......

This rule is in effect for the NCAA. Yes, a lot of manufacturers do have a double or even quadruple logos on socks. This is something that has been enforced all season in all of the conferences that I am aware of. If you look at Rule 3, Section 8, Article 2, you will see how only one logo is allowed on the apperal, in this case the sock.

Socks (Rule 3-8.2). Only one manufacturer’s logo, not exceeding 2 ¼ square inches, is permitted on a sock. Furthermore, there can be no more than one logo per leg regardless of how many socks are being worn. No other commercial logos are permitted (Source: Arbitersports.com, Debbie Williamson NCAA Women's Basketball Secretary, Rules Editor)

Hope that helps. This is something that has been a rising issue through out the year, and the NCAA wants us all the enforce the rules in the rulebook, and this is in there.

I agree....what would any of us be worried about what a volleyball player wears?
