You should always have a reserve of spare black shirts, black sweats that do NOT make noise, and black socks. Gaff shoes if needed, I try to text techs before the show to remind them to wear black stuff.
Also, rather than tape over or cover logos, Mike, you should have them turn their shirt inside out, and then tape over the tag. Saves tape and looks less odd. Black leather jackets are also bad because they reflect tons of light, especially when the change is during a blue out (which I hate, by the way)
Booth operators don't have as much of a dress code here, but I do recommend that they wear black or something dark colored to differentiate from audience members.
That's a bit more then strict... That's going WAY to far in my opinion.
Do you make your crew take off ear rings durring a show? or tape over their socks if they aren't black?
As for taping earings, I disagree with this being overkill. At my job we've HAVE to tape earings if they're dangling (albeit this job is something else entirely), and danglers can do a lot of damage really quickly.
