Here is what is required. Officials must wear a patch on their left sleeve (properly placed of course) if they are IHSA officials. A few years ago they allowed a company to add a embroidery "patch" in the place of the typical patch. They also allowed that same company to put on embroidery on the left chest "pocket" area as well.
What Bob is talking about it is allowed that if one official has the traditional blue patch, another official can have the embroidery on the sleeve and the other officials could have the sleeve and chest embroidered and it would be OK. And the reason was they did not want officials to feel compelled to go out and buy new stuff just to fit with every official they work with. As was stated we all do not work with the same people from the same places or sometimes the same people in a conference, so it would be expensive for someone to have all styles.
All that is required is something be on the left sleeve of the shirt and they type of "patch" is optional as well as the other types of embroidery.
It was really not a contradiction, I just was not clear what was required.
