[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello Referees-my son just got certified recently and we need to buy the gear.  Any other websites that sells referee gear beside Referee Store and Official Sports? Thank you in advance.[/quote]

Score sells a slightly cheaper version of the standard ref uniform and offers starter kits.

You can also get alternative brands on Amazon--can't vouch for quality of any of them. I don't recommend buying him all 5 colors unless you're sure he's going to stick with it. Get him yellow to start.[/quote]

Oh yeah -- few teams in this area wear yellow, so definitely get that. Black is a good second option. I also got green and might bust it out on occasion just for sake of variety, but there's no need for a beginner to get three. The odds of a yellow team playing a black team are pretty slim.[/quote]

This advice is fine if you ref by yourself but normally games have three officials and they each need to wear the same color jerseys. Very few officials in my experience have black, so that would be the last color I would get.  When you get certified, they usually tell you to get yellow first, then green, then blue, then red, then black. I haven't been refereeing very long but I have over 150 guys under my belt and I think I've seen black worn twice.[/quote]

I agree, yellow, green, and blue are the most common in that order. I’ve only seen red at tournaments and never seen black.[/quote]
