They went farther and showed us a slide (wooohee) and undergarments (exposed) can be of ANY color as long as its solid. including optic yellow. then you would refer to "is it distracting" on the pitcher.

NFHS test question says exposed undergarments are considered part of the official uniform and may be of any solid color.

I put false on the test and made 100 so they must want school colors only for testing.

That isn't what I just heard at the state NFHS clinic. Pretty sure the slide had black, white, grey or school color (all solid). However, clinician was specific as to not getting into the shade of the color.

BTW, AFAIC, the school colors are anything similar to what is already included on the uniform

Just about to post that, which is what makes tha answer false.

Only our non-NFHS person caught it.

NFHS 3.2.7
"Exposed undergarments, if worn, are considered part of the official uniform. All exposed undergarments shall be black, white, gray or a solid school color."

I think that's the passage relevant to the test question.

Art. 7 goes on:
a. Exposed upper-body undergarments do not have to be the same color as exposed lower-body undergarments.
b. All exposed upper-body undergarments shall be the same color, and all exposed lower-body undergarments shall be the same color.

Not included in the NFHS book that I could find was if'n the umpires had any exposed undergarments if they had to be the same color.

edit: except for t-shirts, if worn.

the false part is the "considered part of the official uniform"? no?

Women on the field exposing their undergarment is distracting to me. Imagine the color yellow in front and brown at the back. Very distracting!

Good god, we're a bunch of perves!

Well John,

I'm sorry to say, that we have very little top- or pro-umpires working in youth softball. So over 90% of my games are in "adult" softball. Both male as female.
Notice I've placed the brackets; the young ladies are mostly over 17 years old. Some talented girls are under 17 as they start playing in the dutch top-league...
However, on the fields i've never seen any exposed undergarments at players, coaches nor umpires! If they do, i think i'll ask them to start wearing their uniform properly (or leave my diamond...)

I assume you meant male and female. Otherwise,the undergarments may not be the only things exposed!

Sander, I think the "English as a Second Language" barrier caught up with you on this one.

This rule refers to, for example, a long sleeve undershirt, that the arms of the shirt are exposed past the short sleeves of the uniform jersey. Or sliding shorts, whose legs extend past the shorter legs of uniform shorts.

The parts of these that are exposed are regulated as to color, and to match.

The rule doesn't apply to sports bras worn without uniform tops, etc., as I believe you are imagining.

....

Not even second: thirt is better.
NL, D, GB and finally F... All learnt between the age 6 and 18 at school, somewhere in an earlier century.
And yep, I'm caught. Am I also out?

However, Steve, I wasn't imagining the rule. In the Neth.'s (following ISF) we've made long sleeves and sliding pants part of the uniform. "If worn, must be of same colour and type" or something similair written.
So, for me, that's not undergarment just a part of uniform.
