I think the teams can wear whatever color they want so long as they all wear the same color. for some reason the tape issue I thought was to cover up the name brand of shoe not authorized by the league. In other words if the league is using Nike your fine but if you want to wear Reebok then you have to cover up the logo.

Portis was fined $20,000 for those shoes that didn't match the team. He constantly did things to draw fines and did not care. In that game, he was fined for the shoes, his socks and his tinted eye shield. They fined Sean Taylor $5000 that game for his striped socks too.

Apparently, the League threatened to suspend CP if he had another violation!
