The coach was probably trying to be OK. He let him wear them during the game but when is enough enough? Sound like the kid was just trying to push things. Lets see how outlandish I can get? I wonder if he even ran it by the coach in the first place would that have hurt? Why the hell does the kid need so many cleats anyway? I remember 1 pair tickled us to death.
How is he disobeying the coach, when the coach let him wear many different pairs of cleats before?

He didnt disobeying anything until he was told to take them off.

It sounds like to me that the kid was just wearing different cleats, like he did all year long, and the coach had a problem because they were pink.

It does not matter why he had so many cleats or anything else, thats irrelevant.

what matters is the facts;
the fact that the coach had no problems at all with the kid wearing different cleats every week until the kid wore pink ones. there was obviously no uniform policy, because he had been allowed to wear different cleats before.
the fact that the kid was kicked off the team for wearing those cleats. the fact that the cleats were given to him for a great reason and a good cause.

all that matters is that the coach did not have a problem with the kid wearing different colored cleats until they were pink. ergo, the pink cleats were singled out for a reason.
