US rules may be different from Aussie rules, just like in football ...
Here, you can get away with nice dark slacks or skirt and shirt. Grays are often better than blacks. Less mournful, but still respectful.
I officiated at the funeral of a friend and we sent word out to all attendees ... no black. Brights only. She wouldn't have wanted you to wear black because you think you're supposed to.
At a funeral of a coworker recently, the preferred attire was a Flyer's (Philadelphia's Ice Hockey Team) Jersey, including for the "guest of honor."
The man loved the Fly-boys, the wife knew it, and saw to it that he was sent off in style.
I like to think of the lack of hockey this season as an appropriate period of mourning.
