I didn't say I didn't enforce the rules as they are, or have my kids abide by them, but I just don't care for all the rules about what kids can or can't have, nor do I want more. Personally, I don't care if a kid has a red undershirt under a blue uniform. I won't allow it due to the current rules, but the original posting was in reference to bringing up sock rules to the Federation. And my reply was that I could care less about new rules regarding uniform restrictions. I am sorry for your lack of comprehension, but don't give up. Reading is FUNdamental!

What about for girls teams who don't wear an under shirt but they have a lime green sports bra on? What is the rule for that?

Don't even think about going there with bra color...ever. Even the most strict uniform enforcer will tell you that you should NEVER go there.

Oh I wouldn't, trust you me. Just wondering if anybody had a rules interp. Haven't noticed one in the rule book, probably for good reason.

Well, if you are going to be that way about it, then let's start with a grammar lesson for you.

Couldn't Care Less or Could Care Less - Grammatical Jeopardy

Using the phrase “could care less” actually means that one does, in fact, possess a measurable level of caring, concern or interest of a given situation and is contradictory to the context in which that phrase is commonly used. The use of “could care less”, in fact, expresses that one does care, have an interest, or a level of concern about a topic or situation.
Attempting to convey a position that one has no interest or concern would require the use of the phrase “couldn’t care less”, which indicates a state of mind completely devoid of caring, interest or concern. If one cannot care less, the indication is a level at which one could not possibly care less because he/she already does not care at all.
Incorrect usage: “I could care less what he thinks…” – meaning one does care and possesses a measurable level of caring from which feeling could be subtracted.
Correct usage: “I couldn’t care less what he thinks…” – meaning one does not care at all and thus it would be impossible to care any less or subtract feeling where none exists.

Thank you. This is one of my biggest pet peeves.

My other big pet peeve is when people use the "What are you, the grammar police?" line on the Internet. Quit butchering the English language and no one will have to say anything.

Point taken. I couldn't care less about new uniform/dress code rules.

So you're a coach? If so, you don't really have a choice, and whether you like them or not is inconsequential really.

A. I am a coach and an official at lower level games.
B. Where did I say I had a choice?
C. Whether I like them or not is consequential to me and any others that agree or disagree with me. It may be inconsequential to you, but it is my opinion. Not unlike hundreds of other opinions that I have read on these forums.
and D. I missed the part where I had to have your permission to post an opinion. But in the future I will ask you first.

I understood your message. You don't want the NFHS getting even more involved than they already are, right?

Exactly. Thank you. I will never speak of this again. I promise. The End.

Agree 100%. The camel's nose is already under the tent. We don't want the camel jumping into the sleeping bag with us. The way it's going, the NFHS will eventually ban those shoes with retractable wheels. Now, that would certainly take the fun out of the game. Stupid "Gestapo Fashion Police".

If I were you I wouldn't wait to stop wearing them until they ban them, I'd just stop using them before you hurt yourself.

I didn't say you couldn't have an opinion, nor did I say that you had to have my permission to post.

Had a coach come up this year, before a BF game, and ask about the black U/A shirts underneath the other team's blue jerseys. I looked at him funny as I told him that yes, they were illegal (only the neckline of the U/A shirts was exposed, but it was enough).

Ended up starting that one with a T anyway (away team had two numbers wrong that didn't get noticed until right before tip-off). Second time this year I started a game without a jump ball; can't remember the last time before that, or if it had ever happened in one of my games.
