"shall properly wear uniforms..."

[Little Jimmy]

Just wondering how you all handle the tuck; no tuck issue when it comes to shirts. I felt I had resolved the issue for myself by simply letting the girls wear them the way they wanted. Most girls teams in this area wear a sleeveless pullover that comes down to slightly below the waist. But I worked with a guy the other night who was quite adamant about keeping them tucked in even when they got on base. When I took the plate for a second game he kept telling me to remind the girls but I told him I had a difference of opinion. ASA 3-6 says players "shall properly wear uniforms" etc., etc. They also go on to say that sleeves can be adjusted with tie-ups, which is obviously not the way the shirt was designed to be worn. That leads me to believe that some modification is acceptable.

I want the players to look neat and I think that the vast majority of them look fine without being tucked in. If the rule book said specifically "tucked in" then I would have no problem. I just grow weary of trying to inforce a rule that doesn't seem to exist. Any thoughts?
