No more swearing?  No more giving the pump in front of the other guy's
bench?  No gestures?  Nice idea but I'll believe it when I don't hear/see
it.

I'm not really concerned about this since I am sure it would be tempered by
reason.  But the "before the season" sounds kind of excessive.  A couple of
years ago our (Div III) team changed its jerseys and there was a foul-up.
The normal home jerseys never arrived.  We wound up playing at home in our
dark road jerseys.  Notice the way the rule is written all the other team
would have to do is not agree to this and we would have to forfeit the
games.  And what happens if a set of jerseys gets lost by the laundry?  Ah -
sorry about the bandwidth folks.  But can't they write rules that allow
flexibility for situations?
