No rule against it!
Law 4 in IFAB clearly statesQuote:
Each goalkeeper must wear colours that are distinguishable from the other players and the match officials
My shirt is red. The GK is red and black sleeves. Problem solved!
Seriously though. At professional/international events things like colors are worked out ahead of time. Down to what color pinnie is worn by substitutes. And of course they have plenty of colors to choose from.
At everything below that, wear what you can and try and not stand next to the GKer . Getting three people who may or may not have a blue shirt in their bag to not conflict on Sunday and then having to change to green the next game is a PITA.
I did two games this year where the other ref had a yellow shirt. That's it. I sort of suggested he take some of that hard earned game fee and buy another color. Or two.
I didn't see it in the rules, but in the Lake Highlands/Flower Mound Girls game, both keepers were wearing Aquablue. Shouldn't one of them change?
Also allowed.
Now when I did a 3rd round playoff game in CS 3 years ago and home keeper comes out in the slightest color variance from her team…
Any concerns at the end of the match when the keeper comes out for a header at the end of regulation?
Tell the coach to make her change or wear a pinnie before the game starts. He/She won't want to. I don't care what they want.
And if both coaches tell you no and ask you to move on and get the game started?
"Is this the hill you want to die on coach?"
Seriously. No coach in their right mind is saying that. And if they do, well the player is improperly equipped and I guess they are gonna die on that hill. I mean we literally ask every coach "Are your players legally and properly equipped?" before every game.
But come on. Make them change. And don't start the game until they do. It's not hard.
