Ncaa Rules Change

Recommended Posts

The NCAA has lifted the ridiculous rule requiring gloves to be gray. The rule allegedly started because teams were wearing gloves the same color as their opponents to prevent holding penalties from being called. Now, schools can wear any color they choose.

Since I found this story on the Oregon blog, why do I feel like Nike threw some weight around to get this changed especially considering their Pro Combat uni designs. I guess it's one of the few good things Nike has done for uniforms.

I would also mention that a lot of teams want to where meaningful colors like the pros wearing pink for the Susan Komen foundation.
