Iowa IHSAA Embroidered 2 1/4" Stripe Long Sleeve Football Referee Shirt

Give your Iowa football uniform a professional, traditional finish with the Iowa IHSAA 2¼" Stripe Embroidered Long Sleeve Football Referee Shirt. Designed for football officials who prefer the classic 2¼-inch black-and-white stripe, this long-sleeve shirt combines an association-specific appearance with durable embroidered identification.

The IHSAA permits both 1-inch and 2¼-inch stripe football officials' shirts, with varsity crews required to wear the same stripe size and shirt style. The IHSAA State of Iowa emblem is worn on the left chest and is required for football tournament and playoff officials.

The standout feature of this shirt is its embroidered IHSAA identification, providing a raised, stitched finish rather than a flat printed or heat-applied graphic. The embroidered treatment gives the uniform a traditional officials' appearance and is particularly well suited for postseason and tournament assignments.

The long-sleeve construction also makes this a practical choice for officials working cooler-weather football games when additional arm coverage is preferred.

Built for Iowa Football Officials

2¼-Inch Black-and-White Stripes

The shirt features the traditional 2¼-inch football officiating stripe. IHSAA currently permits either 1-inch or 2¼-inch stripe shirts, but all members of a varsity crew must use the same stripe size and shirt style.

Embroidered IHSAA Emblem

The IHSAA State of Iowa emblem is embroidered on the left chest, providing a dimensional stitched appearance that stands apart from basic printed or heat-transfer decoration.

IHSAA requires its State of Iowa emblem on the left chest for football tournament and playoff officials, while regular-season officials are encouraged to purchase shirts with the emblem already included.

Long-Sleeve Construction

The long sleeves provide additional coverage for early-season evenings, late-season games, and cooler Iowa football conditions without changing the traditional referee-shirt appearance.

Professional Officials Styling

The shirt is designed specifically as a football officiating garment, with the familiar black-and-white striped appearance and association identification needed to complete an Iowa football officiating uniform.

IHSAA Uniform Details

The current IHSAA officials' manual states that football crews may wear 1-inch or 2¼-inch stripe football officials' shirts. Varsity crew members must wear the same stripe size and shirt style.

IHSAA also specifies:

• Black nylon football officiating pants for 9-12 football contests
• Appropriate football officiating cap
• Black shoes
• Black socks
• IHSAA State of Iowa emblem on the left chest for football tournament/playoff officials

For the optional U.S. flag emblem, IHSAA requests the standard red, white and blue flag with gold trim on the left sleeve, 2 inches below the shoulder seam, with the union toward the viewer's left and the flag facing forward.

Why Choose an Embroidered IHSAA Shirt?

Raised Stitched Finish

Unlike a flat heat-transfer graphic, embroidery uses thread stitched directly into the garment, creating a dimensional appearance that looks integrated with the uniform.

Professional Association Identification

The embroidered IHSAA emblem clearly identifies the shirt as an Iowa-specific officials' uniform.

Particularly Appropriate for Postseason

IHSAA requires the State of Iowa emblem on the left chest for football tournament and playoff officials, making an IHSAA-logoed shirt an especially practical choice for officials working toward postseason assignments.
