Technically, the rule about the uniforms was the culmination of the efforts of one referee who adamantly pushed the issue with the NFHS for about 7-8 years before it finally passed.

Seems he officiated a state final game (somewhere) and both teams showed up in light jerseys (one gold, one yellow) and it was confusing. He pursued this change to solid white jerseys/socks to quell the conflict.

Of course, my stance has been that a simple email or phone call with "What are you wearing?" would have sufficed and kept the old system.
