samaj Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) I have been asked recently by coaches, and have had some discussion with some officials about the new rule that went into effect this year about Headgear only having 1 manufacturers logo on them. The IHSAA recently told the officials that the new rule was going into effect despite the fact that Cliff Keen, Adidas, and Asics all had 2 logos on their headgear and that schools would have to mark logos out with a sharpie or cover them up with tape etc etc. Today I got word, through Adidas Wrestling, and saw a copy of a letter from the NFHS to Adidas Wrestling, that states the new rule would NOT be going into effect this season because the manufacturers of headgear have not had time to comply with the new rules. The information has been sent to the IHSAA. I assume they may notify everyone officially on this. If anybody has any questions, feel free to email me at eisports@sigecom.net Jeff Schaefer E.I.

MattM Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) Theses type of logo rules seem a little nitpicking when they are so small a person doesn’t even notice them. But on a side note, someone said the solution to it was wrestlers should cover the additional logo with tape? Isn’t there still a rule that says you can not hate tape covering any part of your headgear? Edited November 19, 2019 by MattM Dwilly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paycheck141 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 In all honesty does it really matter what’s on a headgear I remember when the no tape rule became a thing and it seemed ridiculous now having more than one logo on a headgear is gonna be a rule seems like there could be more important things to worry about tyquhp13, patriotfan and No One Famous 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 We just bought Adidas team headgear last year that has their 3 stripe logo on each side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busstogate Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 More crybaby b.s. to hold back the sport. Stuff like this make me glad I'm not coaching now. TeamGarcia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamGarcia Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Next, wrestling shoes can only be red or green to match the ankle bands and only white socks no logos . Lots of confusion whos red and green . Making a lot of sense now that I’m thinking about it more and more .

Coach Nieman Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 2 hours ago, AJ said: We just bought Adidas team headgear last year that has their 3 stripe logo on each side... This is what frustrates me. I can understand not wanting logos all over the uniforms, but headgear are generally purchased with the intent to hold up for a long time. If a team buys headgear for their whole team this year, and the rule changes again next year, wtf are they supposed to do?

jay_flo78 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 This was addressed by the refs during the coaches meeting at the John Hurley tournament. They said that the rule was suspended for this year, so they weren't going to enforce it. The only thing they brought up was other logos, such as colleges ect. They said that the idea behind the rule was prevent kids from being walking billboards. So all those kids paying $40+ for those stickers at off-season tournaments will need to peel them off before competing. Paycheck141 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrodyHardcastle Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Can’t stand this, let the kids rep who they want. It causes no harm to have a penn state logo on the side of the kids headgear. I know my complaining won’t change anything but jeez. Glad to see the IHSAA has their priorities in check . Paycheck141 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the rule refers to manufacturers logos. Any other decorations just can’t be offensive. Therefore it is my understanding that a Penn State sticker would be ok.

So, I approached him with headgear that my wrestler had been using that had a decal. He said no, it needed to be removed. He said that rule had been in place for awhile.
