You posted that this was a change. What was the previous rule?

This is from 2006-07. Since the NFHS used the word "established" it would appear nothing was set in stone until '06-07 then NFHS revised the rule for '08-09.

GUIDELINES FOR HEADBANDS, WRISTBANDS ESTABLISHED (3-5-3, 3-6) Headbands and wristbands must be unadorned (except for the permissible logo) and be the predominant color of the jersey or white. When wearing headbands and/or wristbands, all players must wear the same color and wear the items as intended.

No sock rule in NFHS but NCAA does have one:

3-8-1 A single manufacturer’s or distributor’s normal logo, label or trademark meeting the size restrictions of 3-8.2 is permitted once on the game jersey, once on the game pants and once on all other items of apparel excluding the undershirt.

Which means only one namufacturer's logo is allowed on socks as well as all other itms other than undershirts. I've heard tell of this being enforced as far as the socks are concerned. My NCAAW assignor reminds us every February to keep the rule in mind, mainly to get schools used to it during the NCAAs. It could be the most hated rule in the book.

Actually Billy this was posted last year. I have run a class for 6 years (I believe) and I have modified that particular module every year when there have been changes to uniform rules to reflect new rules or changes to all these rules.

That being said the old rule was there was no color restriction. Then the NF said that all these items had to be the same color. Then they added colors (team color). Then a color restriction on what the arm sleeves were to be. Now the addition of leg sleeves or other leg items.

Peace

I don't like the direction that this is heading.

Or I point the other direction only to have my partner come tell me it was tipped and I change the call.

If I see my partner make a "tip ball" sign, I can make my OOB call without any doubt.

Paul, you signal tipped ball on the shot as I whistle a foul.

It's almost as bad as a blarge.

The tipped ball signal should never be used on a shot.

Or just wait until someone watching on tv phones in and lets me know they violated the uniform rules.

The rule has always (well, 10 years or so) been 2 1/4 inches. It's allowing the logo on the jersey that's new.

Shoes and socks to follow?
