Outsider - what is the rules with under/over socks? Ruben Zadkovich in the A-League sometimes wears white socks on the outside of his playing socks that go nearly halfway up his shin. I've seen players do likewise in local football for years (and it sounds like a magic player has done likewise). Have also seen a heap of ankle socks, going a couple of inches above the boot line, being worn. What is the official word on these?
Ankle socks or anything worn over the club socks which can be seen are required to be the same colour as the socks.In other words white ankle socks are only to be worn with white socks.Changed at the same time as FIFA decided that tape had to be the same colour as the socks.Not referees doing-just makes the job harder as players look for more ways to circumvent the laws.
