Better yet, can we get out of the fashion/color business entirely? I got a game to work.

We should take those officials who love being fashion police and put them in a group called "Compliance Officials". They would travel around to schools and law down the fashion law. We could create a test of entirely uniform questions (wait, would that be any different than the current NFHS tests??) to find those special officials!

Either that, or have schools self-report uniform violations. I just wanna call the game.

It's great in theory, until the away teams start wearing white undershirts with long sleeves. AFAIC, make the color requirement simple.

Dominant jersey color only, or they take it off. No, "white, beige, black, fuscia, or predominant color..." If it doesn't match your jersey, it doesn't work.

Of course, if they wanted to make this a similar process as protesting the use of ineligible players, I wouldn't have my feelings hurt. Get it on tape and send it to the state.

Fashion, yes. Color, no. Colors on sleeves can be confusing. Imagine having several colors on each team with players on opposite teams wearing similar colors. It would make it a lot easier to allow a team to only wear a color that matches their main uniform color OR possibly home can wear white sleeves and visitor can wear dark (black) sleeves even if it is not their uniform color.

Agreed. My bottom line feeling is junk all the fashion police stuff, and play on.
