PRE WRAP AND HEAD BANDS
Apparently some players are using pre wrap on their heads. This is not legal and will be enforced starting tonight.
"Minnesota will consider any item that is worn around the head to be a headband and must comply with the headband rules. Headbands must be a maximum of 2 inches wide; white, beige, or a single solid color similar to the torso of the jersey and must be the same color for all participants of that team. Note: beige has been added as a legal color."
I haven't seen one player wear pre wrap in their hair yet this year so this shouldn't be to big of an issue.
