Because the places where padding has been allowed for years has been clearly defined by all the major leagues for years. Where they (the Dye jerseys ) have been overlooked for a while now, they will be phased out also (I've got inside information on that). If the teams sponsored by Dye or who choose to buy the jerseys continue then other teams will PERCEIVE that there is a slight advantage and other manufacturers will have a right to introduce their own padded jerseys and the problem might just spread.Originally posted by Buddha 5
But Steve, I just don't understand why you are so keen on having them banned, if they proove to be 100% legal in comparison to two layers of clothing (on the shoulder area). Or do you honestly think that the shoulder padding does provoke bouncers even without any clothing underneath?
Because as is obvoius to anybody that the padding is soley put on there to achieve more bouncing! so they should be banned or any shirt for that matter with padding on non-essential places.Originally posted by Buddha 5

You still haven't told me why YOU are so keen on havin the Dye jerseys banned...it is obvious you as a person have something against them. Missed out on a nice Dye deal by any chance?Originally posted by Steve Morris

The rules about padding are reasonable. Let's quit pussy-footing around and get rid of the bleedin' inconsistencies.
