Quick answer: Custom referee jerseys are match-official shirts made in clash-free colours (black, yellow, red, green, pink or blue), usually with two chest pockets for cards and notebooks, a badge position and short or long sleeves. Referee associations, leagues and tournament organisers order them in two or three colours with matching shorts and socks, branded with their crest and sponsors. Pexton Apparel makes custom referee jerseys in Sialkot, Pakistan, for associations, leagues and teamwear distributors in the USA, UK, Canada and Europe, from 30 pieces per design.
Referees need kit that looks official, survives a full season of matches and never clashes with either team. Stock referee shirts rarely carry your association’s crest or sponsor, and the fit is often generic. A custom order lets you choose the colours, pocket layout, fabric and branding, and gives every official in your association the same professional look.

Choosing Referee Shirt Colours
The referee must always be easy to tell apart from both teams and both goalkeepers. That is why most associations issue officials with more than one colour. Black remains the classic choice, while yellow, red, green, pink and blue give officials an option whenever a team plays in a dark kit. Order the same design in two or three colours, so your officials look consistent whichever shirt they wear.
Pockets, Badges and Details
- Chest pockets: two pockets for cards and a notebook, usually with a flap or contrast trim.
- Badge position: a tab or panel on the chest for your association or competition badge.
- Collar: V-neck, crew neck or a short collar, depending on your association’s style.
- Sleeve cuffs: contrast trim in black or a matching colour.
Fabric and Fit
Referees run as much as the players, so the fabric matters. We use breathable, moisture-wicking polyester that dries quickly and keeps its colour after repeated washing. Full sublimation is ideal for referee shirts with stripes, panels or sponsor logos, because the print is part of the fabric. An athletic fit looks sharp, while a regular fit suits officials who prefer more room. Mixed sizes are welcome in one order.
Branding for Associations and Tournaments
Your association crest, competition logo and sponsors can be sublimated or embroidered. We can also add each official’s name or number, and print your own neck labels and care labels. Tournament organisers often order a one-off referee kit for an event in the tournament’s colours and branding.
MOQ and Lead Times
Our MOQ is 30 pieces per design, with sizes mixed within that quantity. A free digital mock-up usually takes about 24 hours, a physical sample 8–10 days, and bulk production typically 14–16 days after you approve the sample. We ship duties paid (DDP) to the USA, UK, Canada and Europe. See our kit ordering timeline to plan ahead of the season.
