Same color uniforms?
« on: September 18, 2016, 08:47:49 PM »
I was watching High School Scoreboard after I got home Friday night trying to turn off for the night and noticed a game.  John Tyler vs Rockwall teams had uniforms with one in black and the other in grey.  There wasn't much contrast between them.  Both had black helmets in fact.  Did anyone else see this?  And should we have made the home team change?  I know I would have had a hard time all night at BJ, let alone U with all those bodies.

yes, the home team should have changed.  I don't know how practical that is, though.

Practical? They are the HOME team. All they have to do is run into their HOME locker room and change.

It was at Tyler and JT's stadium is not on campus. So changing might not have been feasible -- at least, in the short run.

I think these two have been in the same district before so they should have been aware of this.

Well, that certainly does make a difference, but does sound like Rockwell pays attention to the rule book when convenient. That said, did they clear the change with the home school first?

They can't complain about missing a call.  "Coach, I thought that was two teammates holding each other.  My bad."
