This Handbook is a copy of the "Standard Code of Rules" as issued, to this competition, by the BCFA.  For all current
committee rulings, please consult the "League Directives Manual" that is issued to teams and is also available on site.

CLUB COLOURS. CLUB NAME

9(a) Every Club must register the colour of its shirts and shorts with the League Secretary, by the date given in any specific season, who shall decide as to their suitability. Goalkeepers must wear colours which distinguish them from other players and the referee. No player, including the goalkeeper, shall be permitted to wear black or very dark shirts. Any team not being able to play in its normal colours as registered with the Competition shall notify the colours in which they will play to its opponents at least 4 days before the match.

If, in the opinion of the referee, two Clubs have the same or similar colours, the away/home team shall make the change. Any team not having a change of colours or delaying the kick-off by not having a change shall be fined £20.00. The Secretary of the Competition may request shirts to be submitted if complaints are received as to lack of distinguishing colours, and the Management Committee may refuse to permit any shirts or shorts as they think fit. All shirts must be numbered.

9(b) Any Club wishing to change its name and/or colours must obtain permission from its affiliated County Association and from the Management Committee.
