USAV has added new approved uniform shirt for volleyball officials. Now that these shirts are in production, it is a good time to clarify USA Volleyball’s policy regarding officials’ uniforms at USAV Championship events.
Officials contracted to work at Southern Region events will be permitted to wear the new blue or gray officials’ volleyball polo shirts, along with the new white shirt.

First and second referees do not have to match colors at region events.  Assigned scorers and line judges can either match the referees or be in the default white. Specific instructions for national events will be decided on and communicated by the Head Officials for those events.

It is NOT required that any official go out and buy any other color besides the white. White is ALWAYS the default. The patch will be worn no matter what color polo you are wearing. The old white polo shirt (without piping) are no longer acceptable at any USAV nationally sanctioned qualifiers or tournaments. 

The new uniform shirts are available at

Other official uniform items can be ordered from the following approved providers:
