"Skins" under playing uniforms
Seems to be lot of confusion in the umpiring ranks about the wearing of "Skins" under playing uniforms.
Below is the official ruling from BA in conjunction with the new FIBA rules
Uniform Regulations (FIBA)
4.3 Uniforms
4.3.1 The uniform of the team members shall consist of:
" Shirts of the same dominant colour front and back.
All players must tuck their shirts into their playing shorts. 'All-in-ones' are permitted.
" T-shirts, regardless of style, may not be worn under shirts unless the player has written medical permission. If such permission has been granted, the T-shirt must be of the same dominant colour as the shirt.
" Shorts of the same dominant colour front and back, but not necessarily of the same colour as the shirts.
" Undergarments that extend below the shorts may be worn provided they are of the same dominant colour as the shorts.
National Regulations (BA)
" Skin tight undergarments (eg. "Skins") which are sleeveless and a have a low neck line (v neck or crew neck) are permitted provided they do not extend beyond the players shirt (except at the neckline)
" Bike Pants or skintight undergarments (eg. "Skins") that extend below the shorts may be worn provided they are of the same dominant colour as the shorts.
" However, player shorts are not permitted to be longer than 25mm above the top of the knee. Bike pants or skintight undergarments are therefore not permitted to extend beyond the 25mm above the knee.
