A case for they all should be the predominant color. White team passes to blue team wearing white sleeves. One color would be better.

There is an NFHS Case Book play that provides these answers for you.
I have read them and as I have stated I am fine with the ruling you have given. I was just surprised that no one would consider undershirt sleeves as arm sleeves.

It's because they are not the same thing. Not even close. You're the only one who doesn't get this. An undershirt that doesnt have long sleeves still has sleeves on them, it's called a short sleeve undershirt.

I think that is an exaggeration that they are not even close to the same thing. Since by NFHS definition is a sleeve is anything worn on the arm and an undershirt sleeves are not listed as an exclusion.

Also I do get it. my original idea was that it could be argued either way. I'm completely fine that the ruling is they are legal as I also could argue that side by rule.

Context is everything. Remember that most of us have been officiating since before the wearing of these items became popular and have seen the full development of the rules regarding them. We know what they were written to address and what the intent is. Someone such as yourself who is new to the scene doesn't have that perspective and must strive to learn solely from the written text, which is difficult, or augment your training by speaking to veterans, such as you have been doing here.

Please open your NFHS rules book to page 8 and read the section entitled "The Intent and Purpose of the Rules." One sentence is, "Therefore, it is important to know the intent and purpose of a rule so that it may be intelligently applied in each play situation."

We hope to offer you that here.

A wristband worn just under the elbow is on the arm, is that a sleeve?

That makes perfect sense to me. IMO the intent of the rule is all sleeves match to avoid confusion. Therefore it seems to me even though it is an undershirt the sleeves should match the other players but as been previously pointed out by other posters the NFHS isn't always logical.

I wouldn't think so but I could understand where by rule it could be considered one.

Everyone seems to think I'm stuck on one side of the argument. I was merely trying to illustrate my point of I think both sides could be argued by rule.

Thanks for the knowledge. I'm sure tomorrow night will give me something else to ponder.

Are you being serious here?

With all due respect, this is totally not true.

Undeshirt colors do have to match for all team members. And they have to match the jersey color.

when you argue the other side you are arguing against what an "undershirt" has been defined as for years..perhaps centuries. when you argue the other side you are only looking at the sleeve equipment wording "anything on arm." it would be nice if wording was different for your benefit. but in arguing "the other side" you are obliterating the undershirt rule.

so yes, you can argue the other side but it is off the wall based on the history of the game and rules construction.
