Why Choose the NCAA CFO® Body Flex® Referee Shirt?

Body Flex® 4-Way Stretch

The defining feature of this model is Smitty's Body Flex® fabric. Its 4-way stretch construction allows the shirt to move with the official during running, backpedaling, positioning and other on-field movements.

Compared with a conventional woven-style referee shirt, the stretch construction provides a more flexible feel without changing the traditional appearance of a college football officiating uniform.

Standard Mesh vs. Body Flex®

Body Flex® is the recommended choice if stretch and unrestricted movement are priorities.

NCAA CFO® Officiating Details

This shirt is purpose-built around the recognizable college football official's uniform. It combines 2-inch black-and-white stripes with CFO® identification, position lettering and the USA flag.

The position letter appears on both the front pocket and back, allowing the official's position to be identified from either direction.

Dye-Sublimated Graphics

The CFO® and other identification graphics are incorporated into the garment through dye sublimation rather than relying on bulky conventional patches. This produces a smooth, integrated appearance while making the shirt easy to care for throughout the season.

Extended Tuck-In Design

Football officials are constantly moving. The extended body and split-tail bottom provide additional tuck-in length to help keep the shirt properly positioned inside the officiating pants during a game.

Purpose-Built Chest Pocket

The front pocket provides convenient storage for small officiating essentials while also incorporating the required position identification. Double stitching adds reinforcement in an area that receives regular use.

Made for College Football Officials

The NCAA CFO® Body Flex® shirt is designed for officials who need more than a generic striped shirt. From the 2-inch stripe pattern to the CFO® sleeve identification and position markings, each detail contributes to a professional college football officiating uniform.

The Body Flex® stretch fabric makes this model particularly well suited for officials who prioritize freedom of movement and a lightweight performance feel.

Product Specifications

Body Flex® vs. Standard Performance Management Mesh

The Body Flex® model is the stretch option for officials who want maximum flexibility and a more athletic performance feel. Its 4-way stretch construction allows the fabric to move with the body.

The standard Smitty NCAA CFO® shirt uses Performance Management Mesh and provides a more traditional lightweight mesh construction.

If freedom of movement and stretch are priorities, the Body Flex® model is the better choice.
