So, they ask the rules advisory committees to add a rule so they can tell the kid it's against the rules and that will give them some teeth when they are asked to remove it. But, then they don't enforce the rule themselves, they wait for the officials to do it. Then, when the official enforces it, they are either OO or the Uniform Police.
I hate uniform rules.

I cannot think of any rule that gives you a significant playing advantage or makes you a better player when it comes to these rules. I get that we want players to be somewhat uniformed, but is anyone confused if players are wearing a different headband on the same team? There used to be a time when what the coach said goes and now we have the inmates running the
asylum and we have to clean up the mess and deal with the, "Well the officials last week allowed us to wear this."
All we need is a number that is on the front and a number on the back and that the same team is wearing the same color jersey. Other than that, not sure what rules we have to enforce. And all the other stuff should be dealt with my administrators like what is on the court or not on the court.
