I agree with curling, this is not legal.

I believe the rule states that arm sleeves must be a single solid color.

Although I'm not sure I would make a stink over it, I would have rules backing to tell him to remove it if I decided to after seeing it in person.

3.5.3
Arm compression sleeves shall:
a) Be white, beige or a single solid color
b) Be the same color for each team member
c) Meet the logo requirements in 3-6
d) Be worn for medical reasons

That one is 2 colors

Arm compression sleeves shall:

a. Be white, black, beige or a single solid school color.

My chapter wants this enforced even on the sleeves with the screened on designs.

3.5.5

Being as how the dots on the sleeve are designed and intended to be a shooting aid; l would think that 3.5.5 be applicable also:
"Equipment which is unnatural and/or designed to increase a player's height or vertical reach or to gain a competitive advantage shall not be permitted."

A single solid color is not required in NCAA. 3-9-9.

The rule is worded "single solid color". Just wondering what about the dots...
I see most opinions say no go.

It cannot be clearer than "single solid color". You've got no ground to stand on.

I only skimmed the ad quickly, but I note it says "game type situations" (not "games") and it doesn't mention any rules code (e.g., NFHS)
