Official Flag Football Jerseys
Officially, according to the United States Flag Football Association, there is no flag football jersey per se. In fact, the only thing they mention about flag football jerseys is that each team should wear a contrasting color to the color worn by the opposing team. Each player’s jersey should also have blocked numerals for identification on the front and back. Other than that, there is no big deal about flag football jerseys.
But then along came Baunfire Athletics who developed The Official Flag Football Jersey that is specifically designed for flag football. What they have done is combined the removable flags system with the jersey.
What this innovative design has done is to provide for a waist-length jersey with Velcro® attachments at just the right locations for the flags to be attached in a uniform, fast, simple way. With this garment there is no need to wear the old fashion belt. By having all the players dressed in this type of jersey, flag football now can have a more consistent manner of play.
Some of the problems that are eliminated by wearing this type of jersey:
- Referees no longer must remind players to tuck their shirttails under their flag belts to inhibit the grabbing of the flag.
- Flying shirttails no longer hide the flags, nor are the flags placed out of position.
- No more problems with belts becoming detached inadvertently in the course of play.
- Intentional flag wrapping is now impossible.
- No longer is there any danger brought on by flying belt buckles or other hardware.
- Time is saved through easier re-attachment of pulled flags that once forced extended huddle time to re-attach pulled flags on wayward belts.
Baunfire Athletics really seem to have a great product with their Official Flag Football Jersey. Not only does it provide a better mechanical approach to the sport, it is rather stylish due to its form-fitting and tapered design.
YBA Shirts, Inc. of Pleasant Grove, Utah, offer more traditional flag football jerseys. Their jerseys appear similar to regular football jerseys with these features:
- Reversible nylon/poly micro mesh material
- Ribbed crew neck or v-neck collar
- Raglan sleeves
- Double stitch seams with reinforced construction
- Custom printing and ink for standout team identification and numbering
- Shoulders that are not designed to be worn over shoulder pads
These jerseys come in a rainbow selection of colors that will hold up to countless washings and cleanings to provide long-term satisfaction for your team. Flag football jerseys never looked so good nor offered better unique styling points.
