I wear read underarmor under my white away jersey too! Looks sweet! GO NINERS! That fine would wipe me out for about decade! So they missed the fine on the cheap shot to Alex's head but were sure to catch the red sleeves under T. Brown's jersey and the Giants baseball cap in Smitty's post game presser?

I didn't know we had a "designated" color for long sleeves in the first place

Ann Killion has a good article on the NFL fashion police vs. the joke they call the "admirable" replacement refs:

NFL's badly misplaced priorities

I think the sleeves thing is just stupid unless there is some secret tactic to red sleeves for us that is really worthy of a fine.

lions wear black sleeves w/ their blue jerseys and broncos wear navy sleeves with orange jerseys (color + color) yet i see no fines...stupid rule

back in the 40's - 60's ALL jerseys were pretty much long-sleeved and a uniform color:
