Referee kit clashes - change the rules!
Sign Now
Nowadays, more and more teams are playing with either very dark kits (navy blue) or black kits - and referees are not permitted to change colours.
So I propose that the rule is changed to something along the lines of "Match Officials must wear black at all times, with the exception of where a colour clash occurs. If, in the opinion of the referee or competition organisers such a clash occurs and the clashing team concerned do not have a change of colour available, all Match Officials appointed to the match in question must change to a 2nd colour (yellow or green)"
Yellow or green kits are currently available from the top two referee kit suppliers, Official Sports and A & H International.
Please, would all referees, assessors, managers, players and supporters of the great game of football sign this petition, so that referees (in particular grassroots referees) avoid any kit-clash problems, and are able to enjoy the game without risking having the ball inadvertently passed to him by a player.
