The Officials Uniform uniform the referee wears during a basketball game is quite different from what the players wear. The players wear a jersey and a pair of shorts. The shirt is sleeveless, large and long, to provide comfort and liberty of movement.

The referee however wears a totally different type of Basketball Uniform , Composed of several components is much more complex and rigid than the one of the players. This is due to the fact that the referee doesn’t have to run that much, as in football games for example.

The main components of the Gordon International basketball referee uniforms are: a pair of pants, usually long but shorts can also be encountered, a shirt, usually polo style, a pair of socks and shoes, a whistle and a cap. The pants are long and white, quite tight and made to fit the referee perfectly. The shorts are a bit larger but they don’t compare with the ones worn by the players.

The shirt is designed as a polo shirt, with black and white stripes, usually vertically oriented. The socks are also black and white to blend in. The shoes, whistle and cap are all designed according to some very specific standards, in order to ensure fairness for the game.
