If he has a medical note for the compression sleeve, it is okay. Otherwise only the socks are okay. Would be my answer.

That's going to depend on each specific state's rules.

This is regional, but we don't ask for a note. We just ask if it's for a medical purpose, and accept the answer.

This is how we are taught too.

We don't ask for the note either, just ask the coaches if everyone is properly dressed. If they say yes, they are saying it is being worn for medical reasons. As long as it is white, black, beige or a single school color, and the same for each team member they are good.

He may emulate AI by wearing the beige colored compression sleeve.

Not if that's his reason.

Nope. The only way you can wear one is for medical purposes.

I'm not going to quiz the players, coaches, and fans, regarding what the school colors are. If it's a single color, and they're all the same color for all the players, then I'm ruling it a school color, and thus, legal.

Our local high school's football coach purchased red helmets a few years ago. The high school colors are blue and white. The old timers in town had fits about the new helmets. That's all they groused about for months in the local gin joints, and barber shops. Of course, if they didn't have the new red helmets to grouse about, I'm sure that they would have come up with something else to complain about. That's what old timers do. Am I right Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.?
