Central MA Soccer Officials Uniforms
Recently, soccer officials working college and/or USSF matches were mandated to acquire new officials' kits, standardizing the colors and style and making older uniforms obsolete - even if purchased last season. This places a major financial burden on college officials - forcing the purchase of the new uniforms.
For Central MA Soccer Officials (CMSO) we will NOT mandate any similar policy. CMSO only requires that officials use the same color for a specific game. We are recommending any new officials and those replacing old jerseys migrate toward the jerseys pictured below, the standard Yellow and bright Green. Black shorts, long socks (any number of stripes) and black footwear. If officials working a specific match agree in advance to wear a different color ex pink, orange, blue, red, purple, black) they may be allowed and supported. The difference is that some suppliers have slightly different patterns and logos on the jerseys.
The position of CMSO remains that the soccer officials wear the same major color, regardless of the pattern or manufacturer logo (Adidas Capelli, Law 5, Nike, Official Sports, Puma, etc.., and many other places and online stores)
