Thanks in advance.

I will say this. We do not follow any NF guidelines because mechanics and uniform choices are not up to the NF. These are state regulations that ultimately govern what officials wear or do not wear. Many states require patches and the NF has not language to as to how they are to be placed or where they are to be placed. States can follow any mechanic regulation they want to (my state does not even follow NF Mechanics in any sport) and uniform regulations they want to. This is why you might see basketball officials wearing different shirts than what is stated in the NF book. I know in baseball we can wear any number of shirt colors as long as they have a state patch on those shirts. Playoffs we default to a specific shirt.
