A rolled up sleeve is easier to get a finger caught in during randori

Now this makes some sense, especially for judo, but generally we ensure people sort their kit prior to randori so that flapping clothing is at least minimised to start with.
However, if you're really worried about fingers catching in things during randori, I'd suggest that a loose cotton kit held together by an often ad-hoc tied belt and the odd unbroken tie which rarely survives even a couple of minutes in pristine condition is not the way to go. Then you look at aikido - for dangerous trailing things to catch in randori, I'd submit the hakama has proven itself the most dangerous thing known to both tori and uke but just try to pry the damn things off people...
Chris - two-tone rules, you're just too conservative... yes it does drive people nuts for some reason, so I find it quite an appealing look - respectful yet annoying, always a hard option to find.
