Here in eastern Idaho we do not wear a patch. A few years back (maybe 7 or 8) patches were worn.... now they are not.
We did start wearing an American flag on our jackets (center, back, two inches below the collar) after 9/11/01.
No state memoribilia (sp?) is worn by the boy's club member's either - I'm not as convinced that those officiating at State are really that deserving of being there.... some are, some are NOT.... previously being a coach, dating a coach, coaches brother, playing softball with the coaches during the summer, college roommates,... etc. doesn't make you the best qualified official. But in a district where the coaches evaluation counts for the vast majority of an official's evaluation... they call the shots and the boy's club wins.... At least they don't get patches too... for sucking up!
