NFHS Logo on Legal Football
Posted: 9/14/2012
Q3: – On the part one of the NFHS rules test, Question #8 is: A football shall have a continuous 1-inch white or yellow stripe centered 3 to 3 1/4 inches from each end of the ball and can have decorations or logos added during or after production. False - 1-3-1c After researching, the NFHS changed the rule (1-3-1c) to state the ball must be free of logos: “A continuous 1-inch white or yellow stripe centered 3 to 3¼ inches from each end of the ball free from decorations or logos added during or after production. Stripes shall be located only on the two panels adjacent to and perpendicular to the seam upon which the laces are stitched.” Does that mean no logos may be place on the football? What about the conference logo?
A3 – The rule applies to the white stripe stated in rule 1-3-1c only. A logo may be place elsewhere on the ball.
