You've certainly hit the nail on the head..."The rule gets ignored,"... NO KIDDING!!! I guess I don't have a huge problem with the rules, but the lack of enforcement really annoys me. You are also right about the visibility factor, and the 1/4" maximum border doesn't make sense to me either. (The NCAA jersey rule has slightly better wording, IMO). I don't think having matching exposed undergarments would be a problem if coaches would communicate the rules to the players & parents.
