A team wouldn't have to. You could still buy a bunch of red and black if you wanted.
I also think this rule as written in 2012 doesn't make a ton of sense either, especially for sensor power wires. When wiring multiple sensors in the same location, I've often seen muli-conductor wire bundles used, which likely only have one red and black (if at all), while multiple sensor supplies and grounds are used (possibly independent analog/digital supplies, or something else).
