Tackified Gloves

[Ed Hickland]

Be careful, other day went to one of the large sporting goods stores in the New York metro area and spotted what was labeled "Tackified Gloves."

Memory served me correctly tackified gloves became illegal in 1994, yet, these gloves contained the phrase on the package "Certified for NFHS and NCAA use."

Does not mean a thing because rule 1-5-2c plainly stated there must be an attached label of stamp indicating NF/NCAA approval.

One more note, plain cloth goves like garden gloves are legal without the stamp or label.
