And until I hear otherwise, from the NFHS, IAABO, my local board and/or interpreter, or my state high school sports covering body, I believe that you have something.

2014-15 NFHS BASKETBALL RULES CHANGES

3-5-3 Art. 3: Arm sleeves, knee sleeves, lower leg sleeves and tights are permissible:
a. Anything worn on the arm and/or leg is a sleeve, except a knee brace, and shall meet the color restrictions.
b. The sleeves/tights shall be black, white, beige or the predominant color of the uniform and the same color sleeves/tights shall be worn by teammates.
c. All sleeves/tights shall be the same solid color.

Note: For what it's worth, the assigner for my Catholic middle school games, who normally wants all Fashion Police issues to be enforced, has decided that knee pads will not fall under the color restrictions that other leg sleeves fall under.
