Exactly. The defender can legally play the ball, but the consequences are higher if he misses than on a regular play.

Interesting.

Although only a recommendation, the light blue, light gold, silver uniform color issue seems like the creation of a problem where there was none.

And instead of making sleeves legal or illegal, they took the worst of both worlds. Legal, but must comply with headband rules AND be medically necessary. I hope the guys on the committee pushing for these two items will not be on next year's committee.

I feel like the NFHS sometimes is just trying to find editorial "changes" and "clarifications" to try and justify a yearly publication of the rules and case book. Who the hell is having trouble differentiating between white and light blue, silver, gold?

And the NFHS is busy at it again making use the freaking fashion police. Now in addition to having it for "medical" reasons, we get to make sure it's the correct color! A freaking joke.

I'm guessing they've made this change so the restrictions are the same as for headbands. ie, no medical issue required.

If they did away with the medical reason, a joke to start with, I would be fine with the change. They just made a bad rule worse IMO.

Blame AI, he isnt even in the League anymore, but he left his fashion statement with the game.

I understand why they did it...but my general stance is that officials shouldn't give a flip what color a headband, arm sleeve, or undershirt is but rather this should be a coaches issues. The only thing we should care about is safety related items. Adding color restrictions to anything just makes us more into policing fashion.

I'm with 26, if they do away with the medical restriction, it's a change for the better. If not, it's for the worse.

The change would only okay in that it would consistent with NF's other idiotic fashion police policies.

From the PDF file on the NFS Web site:

The specifications regarding arm compression sleeves were
changed to require the item to be white, black, beige or a
single solid school color, be the same color for each team
member and have only a single manufacturer’s logo that does
not exceed 2 ¼square inches. Arm compression sleeves
must still be worn for medical purposes.
