Both my daughter & son have been asked to change colors of there headbands believe it or not this year (black bands with white uniforms) so they carry both colors now.
My son even was denied the game start if he didn't get take his off: claiming that the standard ones you tie in a knot in the back are a safety issue? . He argued pro players where them but no go, so he has one that doesn't tie for those occasions so carries around 3 or 4 total.
Knotted headbands have been deemed unsafe for many years now, nothing new. Feel free to continue the debate.
Thinking of getting a light protection headband for DD. She had a cut on her head a couple weeks ago that is pretty much healed but don't want to take any risks. Have any of your kids run into issues with white headbands, even if the uniform is a dark color?

My son has worn headbands at different times through his youth players years and hes been hassled about the color and knots in the past several times even in the da league or at tournaments.
I can't remember when it was but I do recall a particular CR who actually had every player on his team with a knotted head band removed them before he would start the game, after like a (5) min delay despite the coaches objections to the CR who said he would walk away and call the game a forfeit if the players didn't comply they all took them off & let the hair fly. The manger and coaches wrote something about it, the CR claimed the small knots in the back can be a safety issue if somehow the back of the head was in contact with the ball or with other players?
My daughter wear's the smaller thinner bands without the knots all the time and hasn't been asked nearly as much as my son who's had some long or big hair at different times and wears the thicker bands.

That is ridiculous!! what next, dictate the color of your cleats?
about half our team wears black protective headbands and one player wears the same protective headband but it is multi color tie dye. No referees have ever said anything.

Yeah w/ girls you see that & more accepted but not so much on the boys side who just wear the bandanda style.
My son simetimes feels a subtle form of harassment or unfair judgement based on his looks; long hair, head bands he likes to wear. His school forbids them, he can't go into certain establishements in LA (Dave& Buster's for example) with a head band on, he can't go to certain socal functions with, dress coodes get him.

Did he tried to cut his hair to avoid all those issues?
Dave & Buster's band headbands? I may have to test that.
