Hey NCAAM fashion police

[Mark Padgett]

Are shooting sleeves allowed in NCAAM? I'm guessing yes, because two USF players are wearing them in their game tonight against Gonzaga. The USF uniforms are yellow (or gold - hard to tell the difference) and green while the sleeves are black. Also - one of those players looks like he has a sleeve on one of his legs, too. Kind of weird.

They are allowed.

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.
