It comes with the IHSA logo on it. I had my name placed and centered under the IHSA logo and my association logo on the right side of the jacket.

Honig's (http://www.honigs.com)

I also have the Honig's IK15 (http://www.honigs.com/detail.asp?Cat=2&Sub=66&Item=324) with just my name on the right side of the jacket.

Between The Lines (http://www.btlofficialsgear.com) also sells the jackets with the IHSA logo on their jackets.

Is that common there, Tanner/JRut?

I wouldn't dream of putting my name on a jacket.

I do not know if common is the right term. Some people put there name on their jackets, others do not. I had jackets earlier in my career that had my name on them. Now I have not put my name on a jacket in over 5 years. I will say other than one organization; it is not very common in the Chicago area to put your name on the jacket at all. This is just not something we do here in this part of the state.

Peace

JR,

Pretty common around here. I suppose it's fairly easy to say you're the odd duck out if you don't have it on there.

Far more officials around here with their name than without. At least from what I've seen.

I put my name on my jacket....

...on the inside.

Yeah, JRut, but those guys look like crumpled clouds, and their association is so "exclusive".

Oh well.

I heard a little rumor they cannot wear those jackets anymore. At the very least one of the bosses made it an issue when he evaluated an up and coming official that is a member of that organization. I have worked with guys in that association in the past and even earlier in the season. It has been made clear that they cannot were those jackets at all in the post season. I guess the state is taking a more firm stance on this issue.
