7. How to Measure Accent on Sleeves
Trim on seam no wider than 1 inch
Cuff that goes around sleeve is considered separate from accent and not included in measurement for accent
Measure widest point of accent – must be 1 inch or less in width
Manufacturers are adding color to the solid-colored uniform top by way of trim.
A cuff goes completely around the bottom of the sleeve. The accent is measured from the top of the cuff and not a part of the cuff, even if the same color.
If no wider than 1 inch, the accent would be in compliance for a solid-colored uniform.

8. Solid-Colored Uniform Jersey Background Sublimation
Non-compliant
The integrity of the solid color is disrupted by the change in color for the mascot in this example
Using a change in shades of the uniform color is not in compliance with “a solid color”

9. Solid-Colored Uniform Jersey Rule 4-2-4
Non-compliant
The inclusion of the school name or mascot is permitted to be placed on the uniform jersey
However, it shall not be done in a manner to destroy integrity of the solid-colored jersey or the sleeves being the same color as the body of the jersey
Both of these jerseys have sleeves that are no longer solid-colored, due to the lettering and mascot
