Prior to the game, an official notices that several Team A members are wearing beige pre-wrap around the entire head and blue wristbands. RULING: Illegal equipment in ; the headband color does not match the wristband color. The official shall inform the player and the head coach that these items are illegal and may not be worn during the game.

Yet another instance where the wording of the rule doesn't match the casebook play.

3-5-3

Sorry I cannot tell you the exact page of the slide shows, but this was a NF slide that shows what the intent of the rule is.

And Billy I would think you would know that the rulebook tells you what the rule says, the casebook tells you how to apply the rule. I think you read too much into the situation and what the rule meant. This was cleared up a long time ago.

Peace

So it was an issue at one time in the past? I think that I was absent the day that it was cleared up. I had the flu. Yeah. That's it. Absent. Now I don't feel so foolish. I still feel foolish, but not as foolish.

No. It was clearly the intent of the rule from the very beginning, you must have missed it if you did not realize this was out there. Or maybe IAABO does not do a good job of informing you guys of the change when it took place. So no this was never something anyone I have ever come in contact was confused by if they were properly informed.

Peace

JRutledge: While trying to find a date on the Power Point that you posted (2008), I discovered that you were the author. Excellent presentation. The group(s) that you educate is lucky to have you.

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.

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.

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