The primary Uniform is:
- Gold Shirt / black stripe

- Black socks with three white stripes or black socks with USSF logo
- Black cleats or soccer shoes
Alternate Shirts include:
- Blue Shirt / black stripe
- Red Shirt / black stripe

Any color which does not conflict with the field players' shirts and,
preferably not the goalkeepers', may be worn.
In a three-person system, the three officials are required to wear the same uniforms.
If not possible, it is of lesser importance to wear the same length sleeves and the same stripe design
(the newer double-stripe or the older single-stripe). Officials must always wear the same color.
Referees who do games year-round should have jerseys that are both short and long sleeved.
WSRO Referees Should Bring To The Game The Following Equipment:
- A stop watch (second watch as a back-up is recommended)
- Whistle (plus a spare)
- Set of line flags

- Pen (or pencil)

A hat is not approved referee gear and should only be used when
absolutely necessary, in which case, the hat should be solid black without symbols or logos.
The objective is to maintain a professional and respectful appearance while keeping yourself warm in
the cold weather. If you have a short sleeve referee shirt and need to wear something under it to
stay warm - wear either black or a color that exactly matches the shirt you are wearing.
Gloves - black in color are suggested.
