Question: wearing advertisements

I know its against SASS rules to wear clothing that advertises for businesses/sponsors, etc...

 

BUT, how about 'medical' items such as wrist bands to support a wrist?

 

If someone with a previous broken wrist needs to wear a wrist ban that has "PTEX" on it for some added wrist support, would this be considered

against the rules?

 

How about a NIKE wrist ban (sweat ban) that might help give some support?   With the NIKE, I think it can be turned  inside out to hide the logo.

 

Are these items forbidden when the company name or logo is showing?

 

thanks,

 

..........Widder

I don't think it's the right call for a brace.  It would just be wrong to call a penalty on someone wearing an elbow brace for tendonitis with "Mueller" printed on it. 

 

I also don't see the logo on a sweatband as an issue.  Remember, "don't be a hardass".

Trying to use common sense and logic (Two things I'm not very good at using) I'd say it's a no call.  If we started calling manufacture's labels on things like that we'd have to call them on everything.  No logos on your pants, no logos on your boots, no logos on your GUNS. :o

Use the Justice Potter Stewart approach to determine whether or not it’s advertising:  it may be hard to define but I know it when I see it!

From page 4 of the shooters handbook.

"The displaying of any manufacturer’s, sponsor’s, or team logos on apparel.

(Manufacturer’s labels on such apparel or equipment are acceptable)"

 

Seems clear enough to me.

What about the SASS badges?   TO pins?  Award belt buckles?  And so on and so forth? 

 

REF: SHB p.43 "Logo" definition.

Logo:

 

distinctive graphic design, stylized name, unique symbol, or other device for identifying an organization

 

This includes those of SASS, individual clubs/ranges, match commemorative and those of any subgroups within the

 

Cowboy Action Shooting community

 

Exceptions: Badges, pins, belt buckles, scarf slides, military unit/rank insignia of a standard size.

 

Dooley Gang or Like Sleeve Garters with the Embroidered Group Names??

Not saying I have a problem with those, just bringing up an example of an item that could be questioned.

Welll, I heard that Nike was paying Widder to wear that head band...

 

The way I shoot sometimes, NIKE needs to pay me 'NOT' to wear any of their stuff.....  :lol:

The questions are:

1) Does the item fall under the definition of "Logo"?

2) Is the item on the list of "Exceptions"?

Does the rule apply only at the firing line or any time during the match, even when your posse is not shooting?

I heard Widder has offered to shave his back and tattoo his sponsors logo there:ph34r:

 

Of course he will be changing his character dress to that of an American Indian and only wear a loincloth and moccasins in future:blink:

Also thinking, wrist support, and the like, are not items of apparel and, as such, exempted from the Logo rule.

Just out of curiosity, what are we disagreeing on and why?

Seems to be a concern about what the "other guy" is doing.  I need to endeavor to follow the rules myself, unless I simply can't (medical, etc).  Unless the "other guy" is gaining a competitive advantage, mind your own business.  Keep your own ducks in a row.

So to heck with our dress codes... To heck with safety rules...I don't get your post... Sorry...
