Tucking

[Little Jimmy]

What rule set specificly says "tucking uniforms in"? Fed and Utrip speak of wearing uniforms/equipment as designed by the manufacture. Has anyone ever asked the manufactuers how they designed it? I see coaches every game wearing matching polo shirts and some have them out and others have them in ( I know thats not really a "uniform" for this discussion).

I may be wrong but I've always felt this rule was a carry over from the times when most or all womens/youth teams wore the tradtional short sleeve, button up the front shirts that MLB wears. A few teams still do (certainly at the college level) and those should be in. But the times have changed. If the UIC insists then I'll do what they say but otherwise let commen sense be the guide.

I won't attempt to take credit for the line, but we all know common sense isn't so common. Just read some of these recent threads.

If common sense was common everyone would have it!

And we'd probably be out of jobs! Our role thrives on the insanity of players and coaches.

ASA Rules Supplement 49 states an example of unsporting behavior is
A. Uniforms not properly worn, such as jerseys not tucked in...

B. Exposed undergarments of different colors worn by different teammates on same team.

Guess we need to check for exposed bra straps...Lord forbid someone wear a black bra and someone a white bra and the straps show.

How did the manufacturer intend the uniform to be worn? Simple look at their catalog.
