n. An eyeshield attached to the helmet that is not: 1. Constructed of a molded rigid material; or 2. Is not clear without the presence of any tint. From the 2009 NFHS Rules Book A eyeshield with any tint at all is illegal equipment. It is important for the officials to be able to see the players eyes for signs of brain injury. It is a safety issue not a nit-picky rule.
