Section 1: Wrestlers’ Uniform

Article 1 ... Wrestlers shall wear:

a. a sleeveless shirt fastened at the crotch and cut no lower in the back or front than the level of the armpits and under the arms no lower than one- half the distance between the armpit and the belt line. If sufficient reason is determined by the referee a tight-fitting, short-sleeved undershirt of a single, solid color unadorned with no more than one manufacturer’s logo/trademark/reference may be worn under the sleeveless shirt;

b. either full-length tights, with stirrups, and close fitting outside short trunks or a properly cut one-piece uniform with a minimum 4-inch inseam and a maximum length of above the knee;

c. a singlet with the top cut as outlined in (a) with full-length tights and stirrups. The uniform shall be a school issued uniform. (Photo 1)

Full-length tights with stirrups are acceptable under a one-piece uniform. Any other undergarment that extends beyond the inseam of a one-piece uniform shall be a tight-fitting, single solid color, unadorned and shall not extend below the knee.
