Uniform Standards, Expectations

Uniform items must meet requirements:

Black and white striped shirts must be able to be tucked in and have a front pocket, and collar. Warm weather bottoms must be NO MORE THAN 3 inches above the knee for all genders. This applies to shorts, skorts, and kilts. All black leggings and spandex may be worn UNDER shorts, skorts, and kilts during cold or inclement weather. Pants must be all black and of loose fitting material. NO LEGGINGS, or SPANDEX may be worn as the sole uniform bottom.

USA Lacrosse Women's Game Officials' Training Manual:

Be professionally attired in the official uniform: black kilt, shorts, or pants; one inch vertically striped black and white shirt (short or long sleeves); one inch vertically striped jacket or solid black jacket (if called for because of the weather); and black accessories (visor, hat, turtleneck, shoes, whistle, lanyard, sunglasses). Officiating teams should make every effort to match each other. The team should determine if they will be wearing long or short sleeves, long pants, or shorts/kilts prior to the game and all wear the same.

Use a bag, preferably black, to carry a rule book; a whistle; green, yellow, and red warning cards; a yellow flag a tape measure; a pen or pencil and a coin.
