The shirt over the head is actually a penalty now, it's a game misconduct, because you're supposed to have your tie down secured.
Personally, I hate tie downs. They keep the jersey down, but it still comes up enough to be annoying. I remember seeing Ken Baumgartner take off his jersey and shoulder pads before a fight, Rob Ray did the same thing, I tried that once, guy I was fighting wasn't too sure what to do, he had nothing to grab on to, that was a fun fight.
