In my opinion, anything judged to be distracting would supercede a generic approval or lack of nonapproval. And I would stay with that perspective until a much higher authority told me I was wrong.

Example; NCAA allows pitchers to wear sunglasses. One pitcher has glasses that reflect the sunlight into the batter's (and PU's) eyes. My ruling; she cannot wear those glasses now. Fine to wear when they do not distract (at night, overcast, or when sun is behind her); but not now.
