VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL
MEMORANDUM
May 22, 2014
TO: NCAA Head Football Coaches, Conference Football Coordinators of
Officials, Division I Football Conference Administrators and Divisions II
and III Conference Commissioners.
FROM: Troy Calhoun, chair
NCAA Football Rules Committee
Rogers Redding, secretary-rules editor
NCAA Football Rules Committee.
SUBJECT: Requirements for Football Uniform Jerseys.
The NCAA Football Rules Committee has become increasingly concerned about
the proliferation of jerseys that do not meet the requirements stated in the playing
rules. This letter is intended to draw attention to these rules so that equipment
manufacturers, member institutions and game officials will have a clear
understanding of what is permissible and the ramifications of a team wearing noncompliant
jerseys. The relevant regulations are in Rules 1-4-4, 1-4-5 and 1-4-8.
If you have a uniform that may be in question, you should share your design first
with your conference coordinator of officials. The coordinator, in turn, will
communicate any questions or concerns to the NCAA Secretary-Rules Editor,
Rogers Redding, before responding. Teams may elect to copy Rogers
(redding.cfo@hotmail.com) on their correspondence with their respective
coordinator, but the conference office should be the first reviewer.
1. Jersey Color—Home Team
a. The home team must wear colored jerseys. White jerseys are allowed
for the home team only if the two teams have agreed in writing before
the season.
