In MA, all boys' officials wear an IAABO patch and a MA state patch. Girls' officials wear neither of those, but some do wear a patch from some organization. I've never looked closely enough to know what the girls' board patch says.

Chuck: There are plenty of IAABO officials (men and women) who referee boys AND girls HS games. They all wear the same IAABO patch embroidered into the shirt, also with the state shape embroidered on the sleeve. The American flag is optional and worn on the back, below the neckline.
There are still some "women's basketball boards" around (one I know of) that ref only girls games. Some have joined in with IAABO boards over the years. I'm not sure why they still choose to be associated with the girls game only, but they wear their association patch on the front.
