Here is the new libero rule... 12.1.3 LIBERO UNIFORM Either the libero or her teammates must wear a solid-color jersey. The solid-colored jersey must clearly contrast from the predominant color(s) of the teammate(s)’ jersey. To be considered “solid-color: • The sleeves must be the same color as the body of the jersey • Piping/trim of a different color, not exceeding 1” in width, may be placed along the seams. • Collars/neck trim may be a different color than the body of the jersey Both these teams have more than 1" of blue on their sleeve so its more than just piping, so how are they allowed to wear blue libero jerseys?   Both these teams are wearing these color combinations tonight and I'm just surprised it's being allowed. |

I believe the those jerseys are considered "predominantly" white, so their libero jerseys (being blue and without any piping and being solid) are OK.
I don't think they could reverse those jersey combos... those teams probably have a plain white libero jersey on the road (just a guess)

In both examples it could be reversed... Because one of the two is a solid color...

The rule is about piping on seams of the "solid-color" libero jersey. Both examples you have are of a predominantly white main jersey.

The rule is that either the libero OR the team must be in a solid color (contrasting) jersey. The solid jersey can have different color piping or trim as long as it is no wider than 1" wide and is along the seam.

The sleeves on the predominantly white jersey have nothing to do with the legality of the solid-colour jersey. I actually haven't seen any libero wear a jersey with "piping" since the rule became enforced this year. The choice I've seen is always a single color with the exception of numbers, logos, and names (which aren't common these days). The oddest thing I remember was a men's club team where the school colors were red and blue. The road uniform was maybe 1/2 blue, 1/4 white, and 1/4 red. The libero wore the home jersey which was 1/2 white, 1/4 blue, and 1/4 red. I had a hard time picking out which player was the libero with live action. The uniforms looked almost the same. They also had a bunch of stars. |

Very fist sentence of the rule. Either/or must be solid. EOS.

I think we need to consult Beth Mowins and Karch Kiraly. They both seem to have this whole libero thing down.

Because the new jersey rules don't go into effect until next year, right?

(Might be talking out of my butt here...)
Isn't there an adjustment coming to the rules posted above also requiring that a libero's jersey pass the eye test. Jerseys can fall within the new parameters and still be confusing to the eye ...

Rule went into effect this year after being announced a few years ago. Starting 1 November of this year, no exceptions were allowed. |

Actually, they went into effect on November 1. Not sure why the NCAA decided to do it mid season, but that was the date it went into effect. |
