OHSAA Jacket ?

[Larks]

Question: In Ohio, am I required to wear the OSHAA jacket during a frosh or reserve pregame (15 min before game time)?

Reason I ask is that I dont have one yet nor has OHSAA sent me my patch yet. (Passed the Class 2 test about a month ago).

Any Ohio guys recommend a good place to buy a jacket w/ patch?

While I'm on this subject, is it ok to simply buy a black golf "pull over" with no visible logos and have the patch sewn on there?

And finally, since I dont have my mechanics book handy, what time do you remove the jackets prior to game time?.....Ok, one more....Why do we have to wear them on the floor again?

Thanks

Either everyone (2 or 3, depending on crew size) on the crew wears a jacket or no one wears a jacket.

The OhioHSAA requires the jacket to be black with the OhioHSAA logo, but I wear a black jacket with my IAABO logo because MichiganHSAA requires a black jacket with its logo and I am a renegade and refuse to spend the money for two jackets for high school games.

But when you decide to buy a jacket the best prices are at Purchase Officials Supplies in Barberton, Ohio.
