What's next?

Any tape applied to socks to help secure shinguards must match the color of the sock. Black electrical tape on a blue sock, for example, is considered a "stripe" and is therefore illegal.

I'm not kidding.

I actually asked a NFHS representative if they had nothing better to do for the integrity of the game than legislate the color of tape used to hold up socks. He seemed somehow offended by the question.

I've got good news and bad news...
