If you have any questions, please contact a member of the Officials and Rules Committee, or the Chairman of Judges at the event. It is suggested that you save this article and keep it handy when deciding what you will be wearing at your next NArchival Archery event. Target & Field Archery During competitions competitors shall wear appropriate, professional and coordinated attire. Skirts, skorts, shorts or trousers shall be constructed of any suitable navy blue (non-denim), white or khaki (effective May 1, 2004) material. A vertical manufacturer's stripe is acceptable. Blue denim is acceptable for field archery. Shorts must reach the archer's fingertips when standing, as according to FITA rule 3.22.1.1, bullet 3. Blouses, collared shirts and tee shirts may be composed of any color or combination of colors. For women, upper garments incorporating shoulder straps shall conform to a 3-inch or larger strap. Men are required to wear long or short sleeved shirts. All shirts must adequately cover the midriff (midsection) during competition. At no time may camouflage clothing be worn as an upper or lower body garment. Footwear must be worn by all competitors at all times during the tournament. Advertising and Trademark Restrictions Advertising and trademarks on clothing must adhere to the standards established in the FITA Constitution and Rules as set forth in articles 2.2.5, 2.2.6, 2.2.7 and 2.2.8. Official U.S. Archery Team Uniforms Members of U.S.A. Archery Teams may be required to provide their own white, navy blue or khaki (effective May 1, 2004) shorts, skirts and trousers. All members of one team, men or women, are to be dressed in the Team's uniform (FITA 3.23.2) The NArchival Archery will adopt and designate Official Team Uniforms from time to time. All Olympic Team, World Team, USAT, U.S.A. Archery or any other NArchival Archery Official Team Uniform will at all times be considered to conform to the NArchival Archery Dress Code. The NArchival Archery will restrict the wearing of NArchival Archery Official Team Uniforms to those individuals identified and for the purposes intended. No individual may procure, copy wear or display an NArchival Archery Official Team Uniform without the express consent of the NAA. The NArchival Archery has the right to rescind the privileges of use of any NArchival Archery Official Team Uniform. Dress Code Don'ts Skin? Cover it up. Be sure that you are not too revealing in your attire. Shirts, tops and upper body attire must meet the top of your pants, shorts or skirt, even when arms are raised. Clothes with obscene language or symbols of sex, alcohol or drugs are unacceptable. Leave them at home. Sweat pants can be worn only if inclement weather has been called by the DOS. See through apparel, whether tops or bottoms, are not acceptable. Sleeveless shirts for the gentlemen are not permitted. Patterned print shirts more suited for casual wear and not NArchival Archery Championship events. Camouflage clothing or clothing trimmed in camouflage will not be permitted. Dress Code Do's: We suggest slacks, pants, cuffed pants, shorts and skirts to be appropriate for NArchival Archery events. They may be either white or navy blue or khaki (effective May 1, 2004) in color. For upper body attire, golf shirts, collared shirts and tee shirts are good choices and can be long or short sleeve. Ladies only are permitted to wear sleeveless shirts. Shirts or upper body attire may be of any color but it is requested that the colors of upper and lower body attire be color coordinated. It should not be the intent of competitors to draw attention to themselves through their wearing apparel, but rather through their shooting, their actions and interactions with their fellow competitors, officials and press on the competition field. If you are in doubt about an article of clothing for NArchival Archery competitions then it most likely will not be appropriate. We ask that competitors not push the envelope to see how far you can go outside the limits of the NArchival Archery Dress Code but rather help set high standards for good taste in appropriate dress for a NArchival Archery archery tournament. The NArchival Archery Dress Code is a part of all NArchival Archery events and will be enforced. This includes Official Practice times. We hope this article will assist you as you prepare for the upcoming season at NArchival Archery competitions and thus avoid problems of having to change your clothing just before your competition. That is time better spent on warm up, practice and focusing for the day's event. Attention JOAD Clubs: Dress Code With new age classifications and other changes that affect archers, JOAD clubs and archers have a great deal to look forward to and to adjust to. One important issue raised by many NArchival Archery members and competitors is the dress code for JOAD Clubs. It is important for JOAD Clubs and archers to be recognized nationally and internationally. All JOAD clubs MUST adhere to the dress code standards of the NArchival Archery (please see above for complete dress code). All JOAD competitors must wear the following: Navy blue (non-denim), white or khaki (effective May 1, 2004) bottoms Club shirts/tops are encouraged Dress code will be enforced. Please ask if you are uncertain about your attire. Anyone in violation of this dress code will be asked to change clothes to appropriate uniform or to forfeit competition as the judges or officials see fit. Please see above for complete dress code rules. Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation. If you have any questions you may always contact a member of the Officials and Rules Committee, or the Chairman of Judges at the event. |
