The following
dress code has been approved by the National Archery
Association (NAA) and the Board of Governors. 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 NAA 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 and skirts must
reach the archer's fingertips when
standing.
Blouses, collared shirts and tee shirts
may be composed of any color or combination of colors
except camouflage. 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. Accessories such as caps, quivers,
armguards, footwear, etc. made of camouflage material
are permitted.
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 NAA will adopt and
designate Official Team Uniforms from time to time. All
Olympic Team, World Team, USAT, U.S.A. Archery or any
other NAA Official Team Uniform will at all times be
considered to conform to the NAA Dress Code.
The
NAA will restrict the wearing of NAA Official Team
Uniforms to those individuals identified and for the
purposes intended. No individual may procure, copy wear
or display an NAA Official Team Uniform without the
express consent of the NAA.
The NAA has the
right to rescind the privileges of use of any NAA
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 NAA 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 NAA 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 NAA 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 NAA Dress Code but rather help set high
standards for good taste in appropriate dress for a NAA
archery tournament. The NAA Dress Code is a part of all
NAA 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 NAA 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 NAA 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 NAA (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.
