Yellow is the standard starter color and the most commonly used jersey for officials around the United States. You will probably see the yellow jersey worn over 95% of the time on soccer fields around the state. MNSRC does not recommend alternate colors over others. Different areas of the state may prefer one color over others as a secondary jersey, so we recommend you ask your assignor or other referees in your area if there is a preferred second color.
Officials who hope to work at higher levels will eventually need all five official colors (yellow, black, red, blue, green) in BOTH short and long sleeve versions. However, this is a BIG investment is absolutely NOT necessary for a first-year official.
