MISOA Policy for Referee Uniform Shirts

MISOA (the association of all Massachusetts high school referee associations) has adopted the following policy for soccer referee shirts.  For EMSOA, this policy is not much of a change.

In order to promote a consistent statewide uniform policy and to assist in keeping costs of uniforms in check, the MISOA Executive Board has approved the following policy regarding Interscholastic Soccer Official’s uniforms.

The PRIMARY uniform shall be GOLD shirt with Black Pin Stripes and Black Cuffs and Collar.  The SECONDARY  or ALTERNATE  uniform shall be BLACK shirt with White Pin Stripes and Black cuffs and Black collar.  SOCKS shall be BLACK with 3 WHITE stripes at the top.

Note:  Any color shirt is acceptable so long as:

  1. Both Officials are wearing the same color shirt and socks.
  2. The shirt is appropriate relative to the two teams playing
  3. The appropriate local SOA badge is on the left breast pocket


Pre-2009 Style

New Style starting in 2008

The yellow shirt and the black with pin stripes shirt are carried by almost all suppliers since these colors are the official colors for USSF.  The style on the left was sold in 2008 and prior years.  The style on the right is sold in 2008 and following years.  Either style is OK.
