Officiating

These are patches for or about officials that are (usually) not related to a specific event.  Use of the words "referee", "NSO", and "official" is intentional.  If I misuse a word and in so doing incorrectly label or describe a patch, please This email address is being protected from spambots.

Expired
  • USA
  • League officials
  • NSO
  • Cincinnati Rollergirls

NSOhobos

Expired
  • NSO

NSOhobos is... well, I'm not exactly sure what it is.  A series of boards for NSOs (non-skating officials) on Facebook I think.  I looked for some sort of derby-wide NSO board by that name but couldn't find one -- perhaps it's invite only?  Or maybe it doesn't exist.  Either way, they released a series of merch including this patch.  I have no idea where the profits, if any, were directed.

NSOs rock out with the clock out

Expired
  • Need better picture
  • NSO

Officials Love

Expired
  • League officials
  • NSO
  • Germany
  • Munich Rolling Rebels

This thank-you patch from the Munich Rolling Rebels to its officials has a lot of NSO symbolism in it.  Pink flamingos traditionally represent NSOs dressed in pink, but NSOs on the international level are rapidly shifting to black uniforms. So the black flamingo could either symbolize referees or the new uniform style.  Either way, the patch is also set on the backdrop of a stopwatch.

Outlaws Roller Derby Officials

Expired
  • Canada
  • Outlaws Roller Derby Officials

Outlaws Roller Derby Officials is an officials-only league in British Columbia, Canada.  It was created in 2013 by Whack Job and Gong Show primarily for unaffiliated officials to acquire derby insurance, but also served a role in networking and support.  Canadian skating insurance is now easier for unaffiliated officials to acquire so the need for the league has mostly passed.  Whack tells me the league is down to just two officials again, so it exists more on paper than as any real entity.
