In the JV game before ours, one kid had a camo undershirt.

So you're taking advice from a coach rather than fixing the problem for the next group of officials, officials who do not ignore simple "Fashion Police" rules, that work Team A's future games.

I don't like playing "Fashion Police" either, but I do it. I don't want to be the official that the coach talks about when he says, "but the official at Tuesday night's game let us wear those undershirts."
