Building off of the last Euros, where black was only worn twice the whole tournament ⚫️

@refkithistory also the original NASL had the referees to wear numbers on the back of there uniforms This idea came from other sports in the USA where officials wore a number on the back of the uniforms . MLS referees do not have the numbers on the back

It seems strange to think that uniform kits for match officials are a (relatively) new thing At the 1970 World Cup, they still provided their own - note the difference between referee José María Ortiz de Mendíbil (left) and linesman Tofiq Bakhramov
