Team Jersey Rules Interpretation
This Rules Interpretation Bulletin is intended to clear up what may be a misinterpretation of thenew Libero uniform rule for the 2010 season.
 USAV 19.2(a) states: “The Libero player’s jersey must contrast in color with that of the
predominant colors of the other members of the team. Color combinations such as
purple/black, dark green/black, navy/maroon, and white/light yellow are not distinctive enough
to comply with the rules.”
This was purposefully left slightly vague, per the YJOVD and Executive Council's direction, to
allow for some creativity in the design of the jersey.
