Rule 3 Officials and Their Duties (Page 10)
Section 1 Referee
Article 1 The referee's uniform consists of a short-sleeved knit shirt, with alternating black and white 1-inch stripes, full-length black trousers, black belt (if worn), black socks, and black gym shoes without colored highlights . The referee shall be neatly attired and have other accessories, including a colored disk, a black lanyard and black whistle, red and green armbands, and a kit to conduct the random draw. The red armband shall be worn on the left wrist and the green armband on the right wrist. I've heard there are places to get some of these items like the refs shirt, disks, and armbands at an affordible price...any suggestions?
