Pro Soccer Referee Jersey

Yellow is just a bit lighter than the OSI, and of course it's missing the markings, but otherwise would pass as an OSI at half the cost. I have 3 colors of these and so far have held up great after a season.

Good material, good fit, good service; I just hope they do not make them in sweat shops.

I don't try to hide it, I don't like wearing the Green jersey. Something about 'Ho Ho Ho Green Giant!' starts floating around in my mind when I put on a green REF jersey. I bought this off brand so that I would have green in case one of the other 4 colors wouldn't work for a game. When it came in the mail, it fit well and looked good. The quality, that I was sure would be second rate, was on par with my other jerseys. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and would have no problem buying from this company again.

Great value, lightweight jersey. Unfortunately, Indiana high school athletics association mandated a specific jersey and cut a deal with those certain manufacturers to produce the new version of the jersey. They SUCK. Poor quality, hot breathability, don’t last very long. All referees in the state would rather wear the older version of the jersey which is this one purchased here. Great value, and lightweight and very breathable.

Color - Spot on match to the OSI ones (see picture of side by side). I used the yellow one this Saturday all day and after the wash it looks brand new. Time will tell if it fades but so far no problems.Fabric - The new 2018 fabric is thinner than the now old double stripe style. I normally wear a base layer under my jersey and I would sweat a LOT with the old style. The new ones were much cooler and I didn't sweat nearly as much even though it was blazing hot. There isn't a lot of stretch to the fabric though, so if you are at the upper end of the size range I would suggest the next size up.Fit/Finish - The cut of the jerseys I received was dead on. I'm a 45" chest and the Adult Large fit just right. I was a bit concerned when I first got them with what looked like some bunching around the zippers but when out of the package they were fine. I'm sure the shipping process isn't particularly gentle. The stitching looks well done and good quality. Mine came with the velcro patch for your badge. The only real concern I might have is with the zipper, it works perfect but the teeth are really fine, I'm curious if it will hold up long term.Markings - This is a big plus for me but I understand not everyone will agree. These have no maker's marks or logos. I think the logos on the shirts from other makers look odd as they break up the lines of the shirt. The lack of logos makes for a nice, clean, and uncluttered look.Overall I am very happy with these. I have suggested to all the refs who haven't upgraded to check these out when they are ready to upgrade.

If you don't need the USSF and OSI (Official Sports Int'l) logo on your shirt for the extra $25, then buy this jersey! It's well-made and the color hue is virtually identical to the overpriced OSI version. Plus OSI and US Soccer will change the design in 5 years anyway (collusion) because they have to soak soccer officials once again - at least you won't be contributing to their greedy whims and you'll save yourself some serious money. Another advantage to Total Soccer Factory's jerseys is that they are a bit more roomy than the OSI jersey (1" =/-). I have purchased both size L (short sleeve) and XL (long sleeve) and both are less of a slim-fit than the OSI. For example, I only wear a black cotton (wicking) t-shirt under the short sleeve thus reducing the need for extra space in the shirt; 44"-46" is perfect for that. When I wear the long sleeve XL in cooler weather, I need at least the t-shirt and often a long sleeve Under Armour-type garment; when it's raining, I need the Under Armour plus a plastic poncho underneath. The roominess of the XL accommodates all that. I am 5'8"/192 lbs. The jersey washes up nicely and seems to be holding its dye well. It comes with an extra (rough side) velcro disc for badges also. I've officiated club, HS, college soccer for three decades and have seen numerous iterations of soccer official wear, beginning with all black with white collars. I'm tired of funding OSI, so this is a fantastic, economical alternative! BUY WITH CONFIDENCE, my fellow soccer officials and good luck out there on the pitch! And thank you Total Soccer Factory for this quality alternative!

The sides of the jersey are mesh which allows the jersey to be cooler. The long front zipper is great for putting on with a hat or unzipping a little to cool off. I have bought several of these type for reffing.

My boys started referring and they wanted something that indicated they were a referee and had pockets for their score cards and pens. These are perfect!
