I can see where you're coming from, but from a casual rec league player's standpoint it's really expensive to completely match a team. For example if you have a blue pair of pants and a white helmet, when the team uses black helmets and black pants, that right there is a $300 investment. The ####ty part is there's nothing wrong with your equipment other than the colors.
I talked to the HNA folks today actually, they're relaxing the uniform rules going forward. Just the jersey rules are in effect, you don't have to match helmets, pants and gloves.
