Uniform violation?

[gindie]

I realize this is an extremely minor infraction, if it is one.  I was watching the Brownsburg-LN game last night and #8 (I believe) on LN was wearing an IU emblem towel or something around his waist.  Is that technically allowed?

Believe it was a hand warmer.

If it were a towel, as described it’s legal.The only real restrictions on towels now are size (no smaller than 4x12 and no larger than 18x36) and any lettering can’t be inappropriate or unsportsmanlike.

So if a player's name was Frank Uecker could he have "F. U." on his towel?

I assume they are eyeballing it.  Could you imagine the optics of a grown man with a tape measure on a football field anywhere near the front of a teenage boy's towel?

Lord, I apologize for that there.

I have no idea why there is a purpose for a minimum size. Nor can I imagine wearing a towel that’s 3 ft. long. And no one checks them that closely. We’re busy trying to get the players to wear football pants with knee pads, rather than Bermuda shorts.

The minimum size is so a kid does not wear multiple towels that look like a hula skirt.  It's almost like strips that flag football wears.

Don't tune into Texas HS football playoffs.   You all would have a heart attack but they do not play by NFHS rules so.......

I know we are talking HS and Uniform Violations... But can we address the mouth guards (or lack thereof) in the college game?  Just make them optional like the NFL... It's a joke.

like I said, don't tune into Texas HS ball.
