FIBA accessories restrictions

D’FLBB huet haut publizéiert dat nei Regelen betreffend den Accessoires solle gëllen – avec effet immédiat.

La FIBA changera son règlement concernant les restrictions des accessoires de jeu
(d’uniformes). La FLBB appliquera avec effet immédiat ces nouvelles consignes. Ce
règlement clarifie et facilite l’application du règlement en vigueur.

These rules will be considered:

Shoulder, upper arm, thigh or lower leg protective equipment provided that the material is sufficiently padded.
Arm compression sleeves of any length in black, white or the dominant team uniform colour as shirts but one same colour for all players of the team.
Leg compression sleeves of any length in black, white or the dominant team uniform colour as shorts but one same colour for all players of the team. A combination of sleeves can be used. It is no longer a requirement that there must be a visible space on the player’s leg.
Knee braces if they are properly covered.
Protector for an injured nose, even if made of a hard material.
Spectacles, if they do not pose a danger to other players.
Wristbands, maximum of 10 cm wide textile material of the black or white or the dominant team colour as shirts, but one same colour for all players of the team.
Ankle braces of the transparent or black or white but one same colour for all players of the team.
Shoes of any colour combination, but left and right shoes must match. No flashing lights, reflective material or other adornments are permitted.

These rules are already governed by FLBB rules:

In accordance with the FIBA Internal Regulations (Book 2), advertising is prohibited on all of the above accessories but the manufacturing logo is permitted as per the following;
1. On the playing uniform (including socks and shoes) provided that it occupies an area of maximum 20cm2.
2. On compression sleeves, headbands, sweatbands and eyewear provided it occupies an area of maximum 12cm2.

These rules will be ignored during the season 16/17:

Non-coloured transparent or white mouth guard.
Headbands, maximum 7 cm in width, made of non-abrasive, unicolour cloth, pliable plastic or rubber in black, white or the dominant team uniform colour as shirts but one same colour for all players of the team.
Taping of arms, shoulders, legs etc. in black, white or the dominant team colour as shirts, but one same colour for all players of the team.
With regards to socks all players on the team must have the same colour of socks and the socks must be visible – i.e. low-cut socks are not allowed. No other advertising/competition logos (e.g. NBA) are allowed on the socks.
