You can take the test once, get a patch, and then never take a test / go to a meeting again. That's hardly legit.
I'm certain that someone could get a patch "from a friend" without ever taking a test / registering with the IHSA.
Schools and assigners know that only IHSA registered officials are to be used. Most (well, mnay) assigners check. That's the control -- not a stupid piece of stichery.

JR beat me to the punch. Perception is reality, you're not wearing a patched shirt and first thought is your not licensed. I see at aau ball and kids games. Of course anyone can obtain a patch or patched shirt and not be licensed as you mentioned.
Just bar talk, I happen to like our logo and am proud to wear it. If we didn't have one not a big deal.
