So no, it would not stand to reason that any undershirt item has anything to do with an arm sleeve. Even full length tights have little or nothing to do with leg sleeves. For a long time these items were worn and there is no restriction of what color they were or even if they had a logo or how many different type of items could be worn.



Who said the rule was created for confusion? The rule was created to have uniformity in items. Not sure how different colors of a head band or a sleeve causes confusion.

Peace

If not to avoid confusion then why do we need uniformity. Is it merely for aesthetic reasons? I was told I needed to understand the intent of the rule. That is what I'm trying to do.
