Umpires Uniform

Umpires Uniform

TTAB

The ITTF Umpires and Referees Committee (URC) has adopted the following uniform color combinations for umpires working ITTF World Title events starting no later than January 1, 2005.

International Umpires working ITTF non-world title events may wear their National Uniform (if one exists) or the ITTF International Umpire Uniform.

It is the responsibility of the International Umpire – or their National Association – to provide the recommended uniform in order for them to represent their association at World Title Events.

The objective of a uniform dress code for ITTF International Umpires across multiple associations is not to stifle individuality, self-expression or national identity, but to have near uniformity in presentation of officials for spectators and TV coverage.
