Why is it that your uniform cannot identify a particular school?

[HoustonWrestling901]

You know, that's a great question haha. I always assumed it had something to do with TSSAA rules of pre-season tournaments or something like that, but I do not know for sure.  It is just one of those things that has always been on our pre-season flyers over here in West TN.  I will ask around and find out.
