It is smaller than the state patch. About a 3rd as big as the state patch which is not that big (we used to have a patch in the shape of the state).

If you have worked for 5 seasons as a certified official, there is a circular red patch that NFHS provides that goes on your left sleeve.
We have similar classification but it is not tied to tests alone. And once you reach a certain level, you stay at tha level unless you do not renew your license or put on suspension of some kind.
