USAFL Umpires Association Uniform Orders 2022
G’day umpires!
It is with great pleasure that the UA announces the opening of our store for umpire gear to be purchased from our partner, Aussie Sport USA! This will give everyone an opportunity to stock up on new gear for the upcoming season. For those of you who placed an order last Fall, the on-field kit is the same to include shorts (with pockets!) and sweatbands. New this year is a black training top so you can continue to represent the UA while getting into preseason shape. This new top is available in men’s and women’s sizes and sports the commemorative 25th Anniversary USAFL logo on the right breast. Also of note is an updated and refreshed logo for the UA itself! The proofs in the store may still show the old UA whistle logo, but that is in the process of being updated. New purchases will have the new UA logo seen below.
You won’t want to miss out on the chance to order one of these! Reminder that our official socks for our uniform are solid black soccer socks that can be purchased at any athletic goods store.
For everyone who has previously earned their Level 1 accreditation, we are also opening a separate part of the store for you to stock up on a new green on-field shirt! Please use the link here and below to access this restricted part of the store only available to those who have achieved Level 1 and above accreditation.
As a point of clarification: the training top is for training, to make sure we are always looking proper and professional the training top should not be worn during on-field umpiring duties. We should all be wearing the orange or green on-field tops in accordance with the level of accreditation you have earned. Please reach out to Jeff Persson and Toby Persson with questions around the accreditation process.
To receive your gear there are multiple options all with the goal of making it easier for everyone to receive their gear: you can opt to pay shipping and your gear will be mailed directly to you OR you can choose to pick up your gear free of charge at one of the three Regional tournaments this year or Nationals. Please note on the order page: there are cutoff dates for ordering gear and they vary by tournament. Be sure to get your orders in ASAP to ensure you’ll have them at Regionals!

Eastern Regionals | Orders Close April 3
