It's not done to hide penalties, it's called "disrespect spat" where you wear the other teams colors..its not uncommon to see...first time I saw SOC do it was in 2019 vs Kimball they wore red.....Kimball was in white jerseys that day so it clearly wasn't done for a competitive advantage then

So you’re telling me they did it specifically to disrespect their opponents? That makes it so much more acceptable.

Whether the deception is intentional or not (I suspect it is) doesn’t change the effect. My opinion is unchanged.

Generally speaking yes it's not done on purpose to give that competitive advantage it's more for clout on Instagram in hype videos etc

Exactly. 

 

Also these camp kids get gear, they wear different gloves throughout the season. It is what it is. 

 

People don't have to like it, but it's absolutely nothing they can do about it 🤷🏾‍♂️ PLAY BALL!

If the SOC program is at a point where the players care more about showy Instagram clout than respecting their opponents, it explains a lot about their poor showing, and they deserved to lose.

If a player did that at Alabama, Saban would run him until his legs fell off, and half the fan base would rightly laud the decision.

Really people..... crying about gloves of all things? Good grief. 🙄🤦🏾‍♂️ 

 

I'd be more concerned about my State Championship trophy getting a scratch on it than some freaking gloves. Cmon.

Considering they've been doing it a while now and they've won two state titles and played for another my guess is they'll be fine

Whether high school or college, this game is supposed to teach the players about life. How to grow up and be men. That ain’t it.

You are entitled to your opinion. Much like the coaches at SOC are entitled to run their program as they see fit, the results are the results. And the results from this year's game had nothing to do with the gloves or being distracted...PNG just beat SOC

I think what's happened at SOC and the type of kids they've put out have made a difference for the positive.

IMO they've done far more good in their community than any percieved slights by wearing the opposing teams colors.

Didnt say there was a rule said why isnt there one.  I know my daughter plays softball and there are rules , at least in some sanctions not sure about all of the, against having yellow in the uniform shirt so thT it doesnt hinder the batter seeing the ball.

 Because it would be a stupid rule.

Looked at 2022 pics and a few had purple gloves on and we wore white SOC in all black. None of the SOC kids had on white gloves. So gives credence to a disrespect vs in game advantage reasoning. Pretty stupid but….

Disrespect that! 😂

NOT just gloves... players do it with mouthpieces, arm bands, etc.

You can throw teaching and how to be a man out the window.  Football is all about clout and money... Its the LOOK AT ME era.

I was watching Deion sanders son YouTube that follows the team and it was a episode where Deion was telling Travis hunter you should wear this color gloves so they don’t catch you for holding… so I’m assuming this isn’t just a high  school thing.
