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.

This is one of the neatest patches I've seen.  It was was created by Justa Maniac with Adelaide Roller Derby to celebrate their officiating crew's travels in 2013.  The blue is a map of Australia, with the star being their home city.  The colored lines emanating from the star represent their travels around the country to various derby events.  The busy black area in the Southeast is the city of Canberra where the 2013 Skate-Turion tournament was held.

This is a patch for Adelaide Roller Derby's referee crew.

This "crew patch" was distributed by Alt NSO Bert Hert with the Lansing Derby Vixens to the other alt officials at the 2018 WFTDA Playoffs in Atlanta.  I am uncertain if it was distributed to the Alt Refs (who were rotating in and out of OPR positions), or if it was reserved for Alt NSOs.

This appears to be a gift from the Roller Girls of the Apocalypse to their skating officials for their assistance during the 2014 season.  If anyone has more details or a picture of the NSO version, I'd love to hear from you.  Roller Girls of the Apocalypse is currently known as Kaiserslautern Roller Derby.

Aribitros (referees) Roller Derby Occidente is a Colombian organization of... referees?  officials?  I'm not entirely sure.  They do have a private Facebook group of which I'm not a member, although I dunno if they're still active.  Either way, I'd love a better picture of this patch for the website.

Expired

I'm not entirely sure of the background of this patch.  I know it's a men's roller derby officiating organization of some sort in Colombia as I've seen a men's league thank the women of ARDMCOL for making their game possible.  I suspect ARDMCOL is short for Arbitros (referees) Derby Men's of Colombia, but I may have that a bit off.  I do know RD Masculino translates to "Men's Roller Derby".  Anyone who can provide a bit more information would be appreciated.

Note that this is not the same patch as their other officiating patch.  The fabric is a different color, and this appears to have an irregular shape.

I can't tell if both patches in this picture have the same or different colored helmets.  They look a bit different in this photo but it's really had to tell.  Until I can verify they're different thread colors, I'll consider them to be the same patch.

I'm told The Zoo was an unsuccessful officials' organization in Canada.  (If anyone has any more information I'd be glad to add it here.)
