Thanks, didn't know it was a womens only rule.

You're right, only one logo per sock is allowed and if you only have one pair of socks on, it's one logo per leg.

I also do what I'm told to do. I might not like it, but I do it.

My Catholic middle school assigner tells us that if we are ever "caught" not enforcing "Fashion Police" rules, then he is not paying us for that game. Does he mean it? I don't know, but I don't want to end up being a "test case".

Exactly. If we all enforced only the rules we liked, that would be a mighty mess.

If I'm working a travel or wreck league game, a player could wear #88 with an untucked jersey and a paisley undershirt for all I care. However, if my board assigns me to the game, I enforce what I'm told to enforce (the NFHS rules). It has caused some strife with some middle school players and coaches, but it would help if everyone did their jobs.

As any official, I do what the rule book says. Off the record, I feel that this should be something between the NCAA and the institutions. If you want to fix the issue, start fining the schools (like the NFL). I guarantee this issue ends overnight (since most schools provide 100% of all uniform and shoes). It is a much harder fix at the lower levels though.
