You were told to remove the sweatband BECAUSE it contravenes the Millennium rulebook - this is the rulebook that the NSPL uses this year in full, as had been explained several times already this season. This also means that untucked jerseys, sleeves rolled up, cut down goggles, bandannas round the neck, scarves/bandannas hanging from their playing pants and many other "Agg" affections of dress are now illegal.
