I will state again that if the pragmatic effect of this rule is that functionally-equivalent products from different brands have differing legality, and so teams who didn't happen to purchase the right brand of velcro are in violation of the rule, then it is a bad rule and should be changed.

There are lots of products where it's probably nearly impossible to ascertain the legality under the current ruling, as well.
