"As a custom embroiderer, I'm always looking for quality products to provide my customers. My customer chose your product because a digital camo ball cap was not easy to find. Unfortunately, you do not offer your products wholesale, so although my customer paid more for this cap than they should have, it was still in their budget just the same. Thank you for delivery of your product much sooner than I was quoted." (E20481)

College Volleyball Uniform Rules

NCAA does not currently publish the official rules for collegiate male volleyball, but sources say that rules are similar. For details about women's volleyball 2009 uniform rules, see official rules at www.volleyball.com.

Players' Equipment, Rule 7, pp. 37-41.

A women's standard volleyball uniform consists of jersey, shorts or briefs, pants or culottes, either one or two-piece. Gym shoes are required but not considered a part of the volleyball uniform. Uniforms must be of the same color and style, with exceptions.

Numbers, Logos and Trademarks

Jersey must visibly display a number at least 4 inches high on the front, and 6 inches high and centered on the back, both numbers being the same, and at least 3/4 inches wide at the narrowest point. Team players' numbers must all be the same color and size.

Manufacturer's logos and lettering on ladies' volleyball uniforms do not have to be identical. Since shoes, socks, and knee pads are not considered part of the uniform, they do not have to be identical. Exposed undergarments must meet certain standards.

Apparel worn at a competition by student athletes may contain only one manufacturer or distributor's logo or trademark on the outside of clothing regardless of visibility. It must be contained within a 2-1/4-square parameter.

Commemorative patches and special insignias can be worn as long as they are safe, are consistent with all every uniform on the team, does not obstruct a number, and is contained within one square inches.

Jewelry and Headgear

It is illegal to wear anything or any equipment that might present a danger to players, or to put a player at an unfair advantage including headgear, jewelry (except for religious or medical medals) casts and braces. Allowable medals must be removed from chains and secured beneath the uniform.

No jewelry. Only hair pieces that secure the hair are allowed. Head or sweatbands are acceptable. Beads in braided hair must be secure.

Miscellaneous Articles

Hard splints and medical equipment must be padded. Artificial limbs are alright as long as they're safe and don't place other players at a disadvantage.

For details, and information about actions in the event a player fails to comply, see Rule 7.

Rule 12; this rule applies to the libero player, one who is allowed to substitute a regular player in the back row, with restrictions. Libero players must wear a jersey that contrasts all other teammate's uniforms, but must display a visible number. For details about libero uniforms, see official NCAA rules, pp. 62-63.
