;	Are there new rules this year in the league?? Like no strips on your shorts, even if they are the opposite color of your flags?? Yellow flags with white shorts and blue strips. No white gloves?? Is this a fashion statement rule?? Are these true?? Tom or Rob can you help??

;	The rule is your flags should contrast the color of your shorts, but that doesn`t mean if you have black shorts with white stripes that you should have white flags because they contrast the color of the shorts. In an effort to clarify if your shorts have stripes then the flags you wear should contrast the color of the stripe AND the color of the shorts. For example, black shorts w/ white stripes player should have yellow, blue, green, red etc.. colored flags. If you have any questions/concerns please don`t hesitate to contact me after 3pm during the week and anytime on the weekends at 703/371-4952. Thanks and good luck to everyone this season!!

;	Whats the final call on this? We were told before our game that shorts must be a solid color for the next game.

;	Appears the refs are making up there own rules, Don`t think any team was notified formally of any changes to FCFFL Rules by the league. I`d plan on wearing your normal gear that complys with the current rule book. See 2nd post above.

;	I was trying to clarify with the officials the rule of pant/short color with stripes and flag color..Sorry for the confusion. The Rule 1 section 4 Art 5a stays that…….in the opinion of the umpire(official), would confuse OR endanger other players.

;	So if I have almost all white shorts with small dark blue stripes on the side and bright yellow flags is that OK? How can that be confusing or endanger others?
