Because of this, we never even had a second thought that this year would be any different and played through our 2 regionals this year continuing to wear them. It has never been our intent to interfere with another team, just something our team does as part of our safety culture.
Had we been approached by the Head Ref or another team with an explanation, we would have taken our safety vests off or covered the reflective parts to remove the problem.
As it is, at Midwest we were concerned with the scrolling banner showing sponsor logos getting in the way of our vision tracking as it was popping up on our camera's during field calibration. We talked to the head ref about it and he said if it became an issue to let him know. Luckily, it didn't seem to impacted our shots at all.

Makes sense, has your vision ever been impeded by your own vests? If not then I don't SEE a problem.
