This is a bit of a sore point for us as we had Team Shirts printed with a small 'logo' in gold. In 'Dam last year we were made to play with the shirts inside out due to a jobs-worth ref who said the colour was Orange. Paris, loads of teams were playing in Orange Proto gear and the likes. We pulled Ulrich on this and all he could say was 'yes, you are right but what can I do?':eek:

Point of story is, play with what you want, it all depends on the mood of the refs.:mad:

This is a good example of the two-faced bull**** that has caused some good referees to resign and is a source of player irritation. Either there's no orange allowed on anything you can see on-field for everyone or allow any color; just be totally consistent. There's some very valid reasons that one, protected, reserved color is enforced throughout the industry. Orange should be the one color you don't shoot at and it would therefore become the best marking color. What's so complicated with that? And then it gets enforced for everyone with no exceptions for certain manufacturers.

The refs just want to know what the real rules are and enforce them the same for everyone. Nothing else works, makes sense or is fair.

Inconsistency and lack of planning...

Certain Manufacturers Steve....?

Those Proto Jerseys were designed a good year before that rule was made.

So... get the rules to the manufacturers in plenty of time or be consistent in your applicattion of the rules once a problem has been identified BUT make sure that prroblem doesnt continue.

As for the issue with having to cut the sleeves of ones t-shirt if you are wearing a particular Jersey....it's just ridiculous as it doesnt even remove the "extra layer" from under the padding!!!

There is a manufacturers commitee now so hopefully all this bulls**t will become a thing of the past.

Millennium isn't the only league with rules against orange in exposed clothing and rules against padding in certain places. All X Ball rules ban orange in clothing, for example, as for NPPL and PSP. The point is, either we have the rules and enforce them uniformly or we bin the rules we don't think are appropriate. No half-way bull****.

The shoulder padding issue is likewise ridiculous. The rules about padding and how much padding may be where have been around and sufficiently clear for many years in all the major leagues. I think Millennium displayed perhaps a little too much "flexibility" in allowing jerseys that were clearly in violation of the spirit and letter of all major league rules concerning padding.

The main thing is to be consistent and not hypocritical.

I'd say that unfortunately there is no way of knowing...

If you want you can take any hopper out there and i guess it will just depends on the refs you meet...

But i'd follow the stated rules just to be on the safe side ;)

That's one of the main problems with Millenium reffereeing, it's inconsistency in terms of rules, if they decide to publish a Millenium rulebook at the beggining of each season, then I see no reason why the rules in there shouldn't all be followed strictly as they are written, I mean...is it that hard?

And the worst part is when the players actually bitch about it when it's pure and simply stated in the rules...

But I think all of that is about to change as the Millenium board is obviously making an effort to create and mantain a solid team of experienced and regular refs, meaning that they will have the same people marshall all the events, that should hopefully take care of the inconsistency problem, as for the rest we will see :)
