What Color Must Home Jerseys Be by NFHS Rule?

The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) establishes rules and regulations for playing, thus ensuring that uniforms are standardized to a certain degree. NFHS determines regulations and guides for high school sports in the U.S., including football. In this case, the NFHS has decided that home team jerseys are white.

Since the 2007-08 high school basketball season, the home team must wear white jerseys. The visitors then wear a different dark color. The concept behind this rule is that players, referees, and spectators can tell exactly who plays for what team.

NFHS also regulates the color of the jersey numbers and the identifying names on jerseys. The front number must be a minimum height of 4 inches and in plain Arabic numerals, positioned horizontally on the chest area of the jersey.

Players and coaches who wore uniforms that did not follow these criteria would be penalized excessively or even disqualified from games. A flagrant violation of uniform rules can lead to technical fouls and other penalties, ultimately changing the outcome of the game.

Before we continue, it is important to point out that uniforms have a little more wiggle room than the minor leagues and other professional levels. Home team jerseys need to be white per NFHS rules, but otherwise, it comes down mostly to style when selecting your uniform design. You may have contrasting trim, piping around the arm openings, or a none-white color on your arms with different-colored designs elsewhere.

The stipulation has been enforced since the 2007-08 high school basketball season in an effort to make it more evident which team is wearing white. By following these regulations, neither the players nor coaches can face penalization or be taken out of games.
