I can't agree with you until you define "nonsense".

There's a spectrum of Fashion Police issues. On one end of the spectrum are rules that dictate that players on the same team wear the same color uniforms, in a color that's different than the opponent's color, with legible, and different, numbers. At the same end of the spectrum are safety issues, i.e., jewelry. Then we take a long journey down to the other end of the spectrum where we have rules involving logos, knee pads, sleeves, headbands, hair control devices, etc.

Where on that Fashion Police spectrum does common sense end, and "nonsense" begin? I'm not in favor of doing away with all Fashion Police issues, but I really wish that the NFHS would relax some of those issues, using common sense as a guide. Socks would be as far down the "nonsense" end of the spectrum as one could get.
