Raise your B.S. flag en garde.I am raising the BS flag. There is no where in the current LOTG that says anything about knotted headbands or the color of headbands. If you disagree with me, please show me where it says that knotted headbands are deemed unsafe in the LOTG, it would be covered in Law 4.

The Players’ Equipment
1. Safety
A player must not use equipment or wear anything that is dangerous.
All items of jewellery (necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, leather bands, rubber bands, etc.) are forbidden and must be removed. Using tape to cover jewellery is not permitted.
The players must be inspected before the start of the match and substitutes before they enter the field of play. If a player is wearing or using unauthorised/ dangerous equipment or jewellery the referee must order the player to:
• remove the item
• leave the field of play at the next stoppage if the player is unable or unwilling to comply
A player who refuses to comply or wears the item again must be cautioned.
2. Compulsory equipment
The compulsory equipment of a player comprises the following separate items:
• a shirt with sleeves
• shorts
• socks – tape or any material applied or worn externally must be the same color as that part of the sock it is applied to or covers
• shinguards – these must be made of a suitable material to provide reasonableprotection and covered by the socks
• footwear
Goalkeepers may wear tracksuit bottoms.

Raise your B.S. flag en garde.
For at least the last 10 years that my kids have been playing and I have been coaching, and refereeing, I have had referees in San Diego state that tied head bands with knots in the back (not regular sweatbands) were deemed unsafe. I have also heard it at referee trainings across various assignor groups in SD. I just assumed this was universally accepted. I never thought it was a big "take-a-stand" issue, and just accepted it as a reasonable interpretation of the dangerous equipment rule.
I have never had the opportunity as a referee to deal with it, because I have never seen a knot tied bandanna in any of my games. But I do see how a hard knotted bandanna could cause an increase risk to other players, intentionally or not.

I don't know how true this is but I just found a ref that answered the question on another forum. It makes sense why there seems to be confusion.
"High school soccer, in their infinite wisdom, has declared that knots, such as those required to tie a bandana, pose a serious threat to player safety and has outlawed them"
Well game across this article, while this might not apply to org's outstide ussda that don't necessarily strictly follow FIFA guidelines I hope somebody refs don't get the wrong idea and starting checking undergarment colors:

World Cup Mystery Solved: Why must players show officials their underwear?
The answer, though, is somewhat boring. The official is simply checking to make sure the color of the player’s undershorts (if he’s wearing any) match the color of his regular shorts. FIFA rules explicitly state that any undershirts or undershorts must be the same color as the kit’s top layer.
In 2011, Bath City had five players sent off from a FA Youth Cup match for non-matching undershorts after officials failed to check before the game.
