They're not the same shirt - just the same color pattern. Head Ref Carol always makes a note of it at Mt. Olive... "No, I'm not from 11, they just liked my outfit so much they copied it", etc...

I think wearing the same colors in the same locations as a volunteer isn't the biggest deal in the world - are we really going to ban yellow/orange hats, white t-shirts with color prints, and blue polos? It's not realistic to rule over the entire garment/color combo.

If you're wearing blue polos with the FIRST logo embroidered on the left pocket instead of your team's logo, then yes, you probably need to be asked to change your team's look.

As Sean said, it's a common-sense thing.
