I have read the same passage in the Black Star.  But I notice it says "all 
fighters who enter the list make an ATTEMPT at period footwear"
This is not quite the same as saying "must".
I have seen before, an "attempt" is anything that is not blatently modern.  
Cover your sneakers with "rags" or some other camoflage.  You dont need to 
go out and buy $200 or even a $10 pair of "period" footwear.  Just make an 
effort to hide them if they are not.

But I agree with part of your statment.  Combat boots and full blown neon 
colored sneakers are a bit much on the field.
