About
Sport officiating is not just a job. It’s a LIFESTYLE. And Referee Store was built by officials who actually live it. Owned and operated by two brothers, Rafal (a former United States Soccer Federation National Referee and Assessor in Eastern New York) and Arthur (a longtime referee who later became a respected sports blogger with a lifelong obsession with the officiating craft), Referee Store exists for one reason: to help referees and officials show up prepared, confident, and professional.
We’re proud to offer one of the largest selections of referee uniforms and officiating accessories online—serving soccer referees, basketball officials, football crews, and baseball umpires. From referee jerseys, shorts, and warm-weather and cold-weather layers, to the essentials like whistles, flags, cards, bags, and communication headsets, our catalog is constantly evolving. We actively seek out the newest and most reliable referee gear, and we regularly expand our offerings so you can find exactly what you need in one place—whether you’re working youth games on the weekend or covering higher-level competitions.
Our selection goes beyond “what’s on the market,” because Referee Store has also helped shape the market. Many of our most popular items were designed or developed by the brothers themselves, based on real match experience and the practical details officials care about—fit, durability, comfort, and compliance with association expectations. In particular, Rafal’s background as a USSF National Referee and Assessor informs the way we think about uniforms and presentation, and it’s a key reason we design certain products to meet the standards expected by professional organizations, including U.S. Soccer and NCAA.
And while we ship nationwide every day, we’re still a real, local referee shop at heart. When they’re not fulfilling orders online, Rafal and Arthur can often be found at our storefront in Ronkonkoma, New York—talking gear, answering questions, and helping referees, coaches, and players get ready for game day.
