Ok, because I know someone in here will know the "RULE".  I am not looking for everyone that is breaking the rule....just what the rule is.

Can you have light Gray as your away jersey's main color?

Didn't the Confederates wear grey uni's? Its probably considered racist and you will have the NAACP, the Black Lives matter and Sharpton boycotting all Shafter away games.

Short answer is yes, but I would clear it with Critchlow before I ordered them.

This is from the NFHS rule book. 

RULE 1-5-1:
ART. 1 . . . Mandatory Equipment. Each player shall participate while wearing the following pieces of
properly fitted equipment, which shall be professionally manufactured and not altered to decrease protection:
b. Jersey:
1. A jersey, unaltered from the manufacturer's original design/production, and which shall be long enough
to reach the top of the pants and shall be tucked in if longer. It must completely cover the shoulder pads
and all pads worn above the waist on the torso.
2. Players of the visiting team shall wear jerseys, unaltered from the manufacturer's original
design/production, that meet the following criteria: The body of the jersey (inside the shoulders,
inclusive of the yoke of the jersey or the shoulders, below the collar, and to the bottom of the jersey) shall
be white and shall contain only the listed allowable adornments and accessory patterns in a color(s) that
contrasts to white:

(a) as the jersey number(s) required in 1-5-1c or as the school's nickname, school logo, school name
and/or player name within the body and/or on the shoulders,
(b) either as a decorative stripe placed during production that follows the curve of the raglan sleeve or
following the shoulder seam in traditional yoke construction, not to exceed 1 inch at any point within
the body of the jersey; or as decorative stripe(s) added in the shoulder area after production, not to
exceed 1 inch per stripe and total size of combined stripes not to exceed 3.5 inches,
(c) within the collar, a maximum of 1 inch in width, and/or
(d) as a side seam (insert connecting the back of the jersey to the front), a maximum of 4 inches in width
but any non-white color may not appear within the body of the jersey (inside the shoulders, inclusive
of the yoke of the jersey or the shoulders, below the collar, and to the bottom of the jersey). The
exception to (d) would be what is stated in (b) above.
(e) The visiting team is responsible for avoidance of similarity of colors, but if there is doubt, the referee
may require players of the home team to change jerseys.
NOTE: One American flag, not to exceed 2 inches by 3 inches, may be worn or occupy space on each item

They can boycott our home games too, for all I care. haha

Thanks guys for the answer.  I am waiting on the phone call back from the CIF, I figured I would get the answer faster here.

They changed it sometime around 2008. Clovis East wore grey road unis. They did the same thing in basketball. Clovis Wesr wore gold home unis through 2006. They make teams wear white now. Not sure if that is a CIF issue or NFHS.

The CIFCS By-Laws, regarding uniforms, defers to the NFHS rulebook.  According to the NFHS, this rule was updated this year.
