Why Body Flex® Is Different
4-Way Stretch
Body Flex® incorporates Lycra/poly-spandex into the fabric to provide four-way stretch. That flexibility allows the shirt to move with an official during running, positioning, signaling, and other active plays instead of feeling restrictive.
Birds-Eye Performance Fabric
The Body Flex® material uses a smooth poly/spandex birds-eye performance construction. It combines a comfortable feel with airflow and moisture-management characteristics that are valuable during demanding football assignments.
Moisture Management
Body Flex® is designed to help move moisture away from the skin toward the outer surface of the fabric. This can make the shirt particularly comfortable for officials working warm-weather games or spending extended periods on the field.
Smooth Dye-Sublimated Design
The referee stripes and Nebraska-specific graphics are integrated into the fabric through dye sublimation rather than relying on bulky sewn-on stripe panels. The result is a smooth, professional finish that maintains the clean appearance expected from a modern officiating shirt.

Designed for Nebraska Football Officials
The Nebraska NHSOA Body Flex® shirt combines association-specific details with performance features intended for officials who spend an entire game moving, signaling, and maintaining position on the field.
The 2¼-inch stripe pattern provides the traditional football referee appearance, while the Nebraska NSAA and NHSOA markings identify the shirt specifically with Nebraska officiating. The Body Flex® fabric is the major upgrade over conventional mesh, providing additional stretch and a smoother feel without giving up the lightweight performance expected from a football referee shirt.
