The USSF State Level Badge

This badge is the Intemediate level for Referees in the USA. It would appear that the USA Referees are the only ones who wear a badge that is dated and has the current year as part of the badge. This is the badge I wore for all games except High School until 1998. In 1998 I registered as State Emeritus Referee.

The State Emeritus Badge is used when you retire from the active role of whatever highest level of State Referee attained.

The USSF Associates Instructor and Assessors Badge

These are the entry level badges of the USSF Instructor and Assessor. Next level is the same badge without the word "Associate"

This is the Badge of the Albuquerque Soccer Referee Association. It is not worn on the field of play, only on jackets and warmups and sometimes the ref's bag.
