Kentucky KHSAA 2" Stripe Rainy Weather Short Sleeve Football Referee Shirt
When football officials need a short sleeve referee shirt for wet or changing weather, the Kentucky KHSAA 2" Stripe Water-Resistant Short Sleeve Football Referee Shirt provides an alternative to wearing a traditional lightweight officiating shirt in damp conditions. Designed specifically for officials, this rainy-weather style combines the familiar black-and-white 2" football referee stripe pattern with a water-resistant fabric designed to help shed light moisture.
The shirt features the Kentucky KHSAA designation for Kentucky high school football officiating and maintains the professional appearance expected on the field. Its single-layer water-resistant construction provides weather protection without the bulk of a jacket, making it particularly useful when temperatures are mild but rain or wet conditions are expected.
The water-repellent collar and cuffs help provide additional protection in wet weather, while the matte fabric finish maintains the appearance of a traditional football referee shirt rather than looking like conventional rainwear. The extended shirt tail also helps keep the shirt tucked in during active officiating.
This is a particularly useful addition to a football official's uniform collection because it can serve as a dedicated rainy-weather referee shirt rather than requiring an official to wear a rain jacket over the uniform.
Built for Kentucky Football Officials
The KHSAA football referee shirt is designed for officials working Kentucky high school football games who want a dedicated short sleeve option for wet-weather conditions. The traditional 2" black-and-white stripe pattern provides the familiar football officiating appearance while the water-resistant construction adds weather protection.
For officials who work throughout an entire football season, keeping a water-resistant referee shirt in the equipment bag provides a convenient option when the weather forecast calls for rain.

Why Choose a Water-Resistant Referee Shirt?
A traditional football referee shirt can become uncomfortable when exposed to steady rain. A dedicated water-resistant shirt gives officials another option when they need weather protection without adding a separate outer layer.
The single-layer construction is especially useful because it provides a weather-resistant barrier while maintaining the appearance of a standard officiating shirt. Smitty describes its comparable rainy-weather referee shirts as water-resistant, with water-repellent collars and cuffs and an extended tail.
This makes the shirt particularly useful for:
- Kentucky high school football officials
- KHSAA football referees
- Officials working games in light rain
- Wet-weather football games
- Officials who prefer short sleeves
- Officials who want a dedicated rain-weather uniform option
