While I agree with you primarily, I disagree about disallowing lightly tinted glasses. A couple years back, Team 2220 was given a large amount of safety glasses that had blue tinted lenses. Not only were they as easy to work in as our clear glasses, but they also looked good with our team colors and let us distinguish ourselves from other teams.

I get the rules against reflective glasses (for reasons that have previously been brought forth), but I think that lightly tinted glasses are a good way of giving a team a little bit more spirit while keeping them safe. Plus, in my experience, kids like to wear safety glasses that look cool over safety glasses that look "normal." I think we had less kids forgetting their glasses that year that we ever had before, which saved us a lot of hassle at competition!
