Jackets Starting with the 2020 season, all umpires may wear either the plain Jacket (no logo) or the jacket with the approved NJSIAA logo. In addition, a NJSIAA patch with the approved logo will be available for those umpires that wish to have it sewn onto their plain jacket. The NJSIAA will not require umpires to wear the jacket with the NJSIAA logo at any time, however, our approved vendor will no longer sell the plain jacket to NJSIAA registered officials. Only the jacket with the approved NJSIAA logo will be sold.
Shirt Starting with the 2020 season, all shirts must have the sublimated approved NJSIAA logo on them. Either the navy-blue or black shirt may be worn for all regular season and all NJSIAA tournament games, however all umpires must match for all games. If umpires cannot agree on the shirt color, then the default color will be the navy-blue.
Our Vendor will be looking into providing an upgraded style shirt that will look the same as the current ones. If that happens either shirt will be acceptable. Umpires will have a choice as to which style to choose from.
