I was told last night by the refs that did our scrimmage that our away uniforms have to be a solid color. Is this true and has anyone else been told this? We have striped away uniforms and all 3 refs said we wouldn't be able to wear them during the season. I know about the home white jersey and white sock rule. Did I miss something about away uniforms?
That's news to me. We have adidas tiro unis and they have the three white stripes down the sleeve and have had no problems. It was my understanding that rule only applied to home whites.
page 24 of nfhs rule book Rule 4-1 Visting team shall wear dark jerseys and socks. No wear does it say anything about stripped jerseys being against rules, I would call skip lax at the HSL.
Situation 4.1.1 D....Striped Jerseys are permissable for the visiting team as long as the predominate color is dark. Jerseys with equal sized stripes that have both dark and white stripes do not have a predominate dark color and would be illegal. (page 25)
Quote: socks can't have stripes! what will be next? solid color boots only? YES! fans must be dressed in school colors? GREAT IDEA! ball boys/girls must match ref uniforms? SUPER SUGGESTION!
