My first reaction to this was a pretty stong negative as a big part of the flow of the game is the quick recognition from just a glance at stick color, but the more I think about it the more the point about gettting heads up and looking at the other players makes sense. I play in pickup style basketball and soccer games with no extra need to wear identifing clothing or what not. What may be sacraficed in initial speed of the game should be made up for in better recognition and teaching awareness... which is very difficult to teach indeed.

I will need to meditate on this concept some.
