Vi er kjempestolte over disse jentene som under EM hevet stemmen og ga beskjed om at NOK ER NOK! Vi i NHF står bak dere og støtter dere. Sammen skal vi fortsette å kjempe for å endre regelverket for bekledning, slik at spillerne får spille i det tøyet de er komfortable med! pic.twitter.com/MmfiMtVz2Q

For a matter of comfort, the athletes had decided to change the inner part of the clothing for shorts, as reported by the Norwegian media.
This caused annoyance in the federation, because apparently this went against the dress code, and that was when the controversy was generated.
