Hello fellow Officials,
Glad to have found this site again! Very insightful stuff; even for us guys who think we know it all. Emphasis on think.

Would like your opinions...
I am the rules interpreter for the Tri-Cities area in Wahington State.
I brought up an item for discussion at our last meeting.
Item: Do we want to, as an Association, wear the American Flag on our referee shirt?

There was some grumbling against, some for but mostly no comments.

Is this something that should be done as a whole group, or can some display the flag while others don't?

Thanks for you input.

Dan

I am told the GLIAC (Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference - DII) had recently mailed Flag patches to all their officials "to be worn on the left sleeve".
