Two Sets Of Different Color Helmet Covers

Teams must have two sets of different color helmet covers available at a WFTDA sanctioned bout.

In the specific instance that the color of a team’s helmet cover is identical in color to the base color of a team’s helmets, an opposing team may challenge the use of those helmet covers if the design of a team’s helmets contain elements that could be confused as a Jammer star or a Pivot stripe. In the event of a challenge by the opposing team, the Head Referee must require use of the alternate color covers if the standard laid out above has been met. If the colors are not identical but very similar, the Head Referee may enforce the helmet cover switch, but is not required to.

Example: A team wearing matching black helmets with a silver design on each side of the helmet is using black Jammer and Pivot helmet covers with silver stars and Pivot stripes. If contested by the opposing team, the black helmet team must wear an alternate cover (non black) to eliminate any confusion of skater positions.

A number on a helmet cannot be confused for a star; however, that does not include numbers surrounded by logos or any design surrounding a number.
