Hello,

I am looking for a National Federation of High Schools (NFHS) patch or a NFHS Officials Association patch.

Just curious, but why?

That still does not answer the question. What is the purpose of putting on a NF patch on a shirt at all? Who does this and why?

Peace

The only ones I've seen on a jacket are the jackets the Fed used to sell.

As a new official, I joined this forum in order to improve my skill, seek out answers to frequently asked qustions, share my personal thoughts and views relative to officiating and seek camaraderie with my fellow officials. What I received on my very first post were insensitive remarks calling me stupid and rather than an answer to a legitimate question/request, my question was answered with questions? Thank you JRutledge and Scrapper1, you certainly have made me feel welcome.

Grin and bear it. It doesn't get any better. We got Cubs fans here too.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum.

Kerry Wood got hurt getting out of his hot tub. It is another typical season in store for the Cubbies. ;)

Yup, I resurrected the baseball thread just to point that out to M&M.:D

Welcome to the forum. My question was sincere -- for example, are you collecting patches? Does your uniform require an NFHS patch? I didn't answer your question, because I didn't know. Maybe you can try nfhs.com and see if they have them for sale.

We all get told we are stupid here - don't take it personally. The beautiful thing is that tomorrow, someone else will get blasted and the pressure will be off of you!

Welcome!

Billy, I deeply and sincerely apologize. The "stupid" comment was directed at myself, not you. When I first read your question, I "stupidly" thought you were asking about an IAABO patch, instead of a NFHS patch. I stupidly answered that you probably had a regular shirt and just wanted to sew the patch on the shirt for your high school games.

When JRut pointed out that nobody wears the FED patch during a game, I deleted my original post and re-posted, using my "stupid" comment, which was intended to poke fun at myself.

Again, I apologize. It's never my intention to make other officials feel unwelcome here. I am going back now to delete my "stupid" post. I hope that we can have a second chance for a first impression.

P.S. -- Ignore what JurassicRef says about Red Sox fans. He's a Yankee fan.

Don't take any of this "personal". Hey....this is an "Official's Forum." Should we expect less than being challenged, argued with, criticized, etc., on our calls and/or questions? ;)

Chill.....:cool: Take it in stride and welcome to the forum, billyc8037!

Notice how I'm studiously ignoring you guys.

We have used the NFHS patch on our Basketball jackets for the last 2 years... the consensus amongst the majority of our officials is that it is ugly on the jackets

thus why I brought up an OLD thread

Yes, there is!!!

Just got this a few days ago....

NFHS Officials Apparel

Interesting that I got this email from the NFHS today:

Apparel with NFHS Logo Now Offered for High School Officials

The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), in association with Get Official Products, is now offering apparel with the NFHS logo for high school officials.

The NFHS logo is displayed on the back of the shirt (just below the collar) as a heat transfer. Shirts with the NFHS logo are available for baseball and softball umpires, as well as football, basketball, volleyball, track and field, and wrestling officials. These items are available at NFHS Officials Apparel.

Mark Koski, director of sports and events at the NFHS, said this new program reinforces the relationship between high school officials and the NFHS.

"For many years, the NFHS sold officials' equipment and apparel and offered the NFHS logo on that merchandise," Koski said. "When the Equipment Center was discontinued, that link was lost. We believe this is a great way for officials once again to proudly display their association with the NFHS, as well as promote the NFHS mark."

In addition to the NFHS logo, state high school associations will be able to add their logo to apparel sold to officials in their state. Logo placement will be determined by the state association, and Get Official Products will offer participating state associations a royalty for each item sold with the state logo.

Aside from the revenue-generating aspect, the NFHS-Get Official program will help promote the NFHS mark.

"When you watch National Football League games, for example, the NFL logo is prominently displayed on officials' uniforms," Koski said. "In the future, when people are watching a high school game, we hope they see the NFHS logo on officials' uniforms."

Currently, Get Official is offering a pre-order program to registered officials, which will include a free moisture-wicking t-shirt. Officials interested in placing an order can obtain more information at NFHS Officials Apparel, or by calling toll-free 877-438-4242.

Evidently, Zeedonk got it before I did.....

Is it limited to 2 1/4 square inches?

Great...now our state office will probably come out with ANOTHER required shirt design incorporating this too. We'll be looking like pro soccer players in no time.

I'm not a fan of wearing any patch on my shirt.

In my association, if you are an IAABO member you are required to wear an IAABO shirt. This unfortunately means you need to deal with the criminals at Honigs.
