Hey NCAAM fashion police

What is NOT allowed, however, and I am beginning to see all over the place is a manufacturer's logo on the game jersey. Lots of D1 schools doing it now. Not sure why it's been allowed.

I don't have my books with me, but I thought it was allowed on the jersey in NCAA (not in FED)

Well, Bob, you planted a whole lotta doubt in my mind, so I had to dig out the rulebook and look it up. After reading your post, I thought maybe the restriction only applied to the new "neutral zone" (which includes the team name and player's number). But here is the relevant citation:

NCAA 3-8-1: "A visible manufacturer's or distributor's label or trademark is not permitted on the game jersey or undershirt".

Well eff me.

Like you, then, I don't know why it's being allowed.

I apologize for any confusion.

1) My post was not intended as an "Eff you". I apologize if it came across as snide or condescending.
2) In this case, any confusion was actually good, because it made me dig it out of the rulebook.

What is the penalty for violating 3-8-1? I looked under rule 10 and it only refers to an illegal jersey as defined in 3-5. (10-2-3c)

No, it didn't. My remark was directed at me. I was "sure" that it was allowed.

NCAA bylaws allow the logo while the basketball rules do not. The bylaws take precedence over the playing rules of individual sports.

Along with documentation that they take precedence.

Why is this hard to believe? You know the basketball rules don't allow the logos but lots of teams have them. Obviously there is some other reason that all these teams are wearing logos.


Wearing Apparel Items that Display Logos During Competition. A student-athlete representing
an institution in intercollegiate competition is limited to wearing apparel items that include only the
logo (not to exceed 2 1/4 square inches) of an apparel manufacturer or distributor. The studentathlete
may not wear any apparel (e.g., hat, visor, shirt, pennies) that identifies any entity other than
the student-athlete's institution and the apparel manufacturer or distributor.
