inch

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.

integrity of the solid-colored jersey or the sleeves being the
same color as the body of the jersey

jerseys?

• If all trim is on functioning seams, these could
be in compliance
