What? Color restrictions were written into the rule last year.


Basketball Comments on the Rules - 2014-15

TEAM MEMBER’S EQUIPMENT, APPAREL (3-5-3 NEW): The 2013-14 rule implementation regarding arm and leg sleeves was difficult to monitor and enforce by contest officials and coaches. Anything worn on the arm and/or leg is considered to be a sleeve, except a knee brace, and shall meet the color restrictions. Tights that extend below the knee are now legal and must meet the color restrictions by rule. Medical verification of arm and leg compression sleeves has been eliminated. All sleeves/tights shall be the same solid color per individual player. The sleeves/tights shall be black, white, beige or the predominant color of the uniform. The same color arm and leg sleeves/tights shall be worn by all teammates. For example, the guidelines specify that if white arm sleeves are worn, then the leg sleeves/tights must also be white.


All they did this year is say that they must all match, they didn't take away the color restrictions.

According to the release linked in this thread, they did. The one sentence referencing sleeves/tights does not mention colors at all.

Yes, colors were listed last year. We all agree. It appears, however, they've been removed. That's the crux of this whole discussion.

Or maybe they just paraphrased it in the release. I guess we will see when the books come out.

My mistake. OK is right. NF only changed the specifics of 3-5-3c. 3-5-3a specifies the colors of sleeves/tights.
