Built for Wisconsin Basketball Officials

WIAA basketball officials are expected to maintain a consistent and professional appearance before, during, and after assignments.

A pregame jacket gives the crew a polished look while arriving at the court, completing pregame responsibilities, and preparing for tipoff.

WIAA guidance allows a black jacket to be worn and recommends it for use before basketball games, making this jacket a practical addition to a Wisconsin official’s game-day uniform.

Why Basketball Officials Wear Pregame Jackets

A basketball referee jacket serves several purposes beyond warmth.

Officials wear pregame jackets to:

• Maintain a consistent crew appearance

• Cover the game shirt before tipoff

• Stay comfortable in cool gyms or hallways

• Present a professional appearance during pregame duties

• Travel between assignments

• Keep the officiating uniform clean before the game

For crews working varsity, tournament, or postseason assignments, matching pregame apparel can help reinforce a polished and consistent appearance.

What Should WIAA Basketball Officials Wear Before Games?
