Many would wonder why it has to be different; it is in order to be classified as a referee.

Anyone can also wear the shirt but usually only few people want to because obviously team jerseys are more popular and fashionable. Soccer referee shirts are sold on online shops and on department stores too. It looks simple with a plain color and a seal or a patch written on the pocket.
