Federation uniform ??

[outathm]

I have a lot of questions about the Fed rule book but will try to keep the postings to a minimum.

The first is the uniform rule. 3-2-1 (pg 32) says that the team 'should' wear uniforms that are the same color and style. But then, in 3-2-5 (pg33) it states that the headgear 'must' be the same color. Where is the logic in having a rainbow of shirts, which is legal, but all of the hats, visors, and headbands must match.

This inconsistancy is also true for undergarments. Upper body do not have to be the same color: 3-2-7-a; but the lower body do have to be: 3-2-7-b.

Can anyone give a logical answer for this or is it one of those HS crazy things we just have to live with?
