Football Golves
Question
Hi, I'm a defensive linemen and have been pondering gloves and I am wondering if the UA Combat II HF is legal in high school. It has finger gussets and the top is padded while the palm has grip. Is it legal or not?

I am not familiar with that that Brand or model of glove, to know if the are legal, they must have a tag or stamp on them by the manufacturer that indicates they are "Approved by the National Federation of High School Association". The tag will have block letters "NFHS/NCAA" and it will say it is approved football equipment. In 2010 that glove because of it's padding must have an additional label indicating it complies with specific testing specifications. My guess is the glove you want to use is not in compliance with the high school rule (1-5-2-(a), (b))
