Standard referee jersey is yellow. This is generally the only jersey the recreational referee will need. The alternate colors of black, red and blue are used more often in the competitive games where the opponents are from other Leagues, and may have conflicting color jerseys. It is preferred that the center referee and both ARs are in the same color jersey, however, never let the lack of a jersey be a deterrent to refereeing a game.
