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

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.

Is This a Contradiction?
OK, it seems they've thrown out "single solid school color" and replaced it with "predominant color of the uniform". I get that. However . . .
New 3-5-4a says, "Headbands and wristbands shall be white, black, beige, or predominant color of the uniform..." New 3.5.4 says, "Team A's school colors are blue and gold and the predominant color of Team A's jerseys are (sic) white. Prior to the game, an official notices that several Team A members are wearing . . . blue headbands and blue wristbands... RULING: Legal . . . Is this not a contradiction between rulebook and casebook? Or am I missing something here?

I asked my family about what the casebook ruling states, & they were shaking their heads, as how can blue headbands & wristbands be considered legal when the predominant color of the uniform is white?

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

Indeed they are. I misunderstood the verbiage in the rule change. Thanks for the heads up.

Fashion Police Confusion In Connecticut ...
Since wristbands are worn on the arm, they are sleeves? Right?
Since headbands must match the color of wristbands, then they (headbands) also fall under the "sleeves" color restrictions? Right? The new "predominant color of the uniform" language applies to wristbands, headbands, sleeves (arm, and leg), and undershirts? Right?

I Hate This, But...
No. Compare 3-5-4c (wristbands) with 3-5-3. In an unfortunate overstatement, 3-5-3a ("Anything worn on the arm and/or leg is a sleeve") mucks things up.

Ugh. Just wish they left this alone.
School colors are white and green. Girls want to wear green headbands at home, with their white uniforms and green trim. Last year's ruling: legal (any single school color.) Before 2010-11: illegal (had to match the color of the torso of the shirt). The girls hated it, in part because different officials ignored the "illegal" headbands. Four years this worked just fine. I would love to hear the back story on this: what happened that prompted the reversion to the old rule? And now the case book contradicts the language of the rule? Double ugh. And no...I don't have my new rules book yet. |
