Athlete competition attire worn at the USA Indoor Championships must be in accordance with policies established through IAAF and the USOC. The athlete clothing policy for the 2011 Indoor Championships will allow both club names and a manufacturer's name/logo on an athlete's attire. The size of the club name and manufacturer's name/logo must meet IAAF guidelines (outlined below).
Any advertising or other identification on such attire not permitted under these regulations is strictly prohibited and will constitute a breach of these regulations.
It is the responsibility of the athlete to ensure his/her clothing meets these requirements. Strict adherence to these Indoor Championship rules will be enforced at the competition -- if an athlete's attire does not meet these requirements, he/she will not be permitted to wear it in the Indoor Championships.
Only clubs registered with USATF in 2010 prior to the USATF National Club Track & Field Championships (July 9-10, 2010) are eligible to have their club name on the competition or warm-up attire at the 2011 USA Indoor Championships. In order for athletes to be permitted to wear the club uniform at Indoor Championship events, their club must be a registered USATF club at the time of the Indoor Championship competition. Clubs registered on July 11, 2010 or later, or registering for the first time, may apply in writing for a waiver of this restriction, which must be approved in writing by the USATF CEO.
To apply for a waiver or for any questions about these rules and regulations, please contact Brian Brase at the USATF National Office (317-713-4658 or Brian.Brase@legacy.usatf.org).
Manufacturer's Logo and Club Identification
Competition attire (vests/leotards) worn by an athlete on the upper body may carry a manufacturer's logo on the front, which may be a maximum of a 30 cm2 rectangle with the lettering a maximum height of 4 cm and the total logo a maximum height of 5 cm. The manufacturer's logo may appear only once on vests/leotards.
A graphic or figurative logo of the manufacturer (not including name or any text) may also be used as a decorative "design mark" once or repeatedly as a strip not exceeding 10 cm in width in one of the following positions, provided such use does not, in the opinion of the IAAF (USATF acting on behalf of the IAAF) at its discretion, dominate or unduly detract from the appearance of the garment:
Other competition and warm-up attire (track suit tops, t-shirts, sweatshirts, rain jackets) worn by an athlete on the upper body must conform to the same regulations as the vests/leotards, except the size of the manufacturer's logo display on such attire may be a maximum of a 40 cm2 rectangle.
In addition, an athlete who is a member of a duly registered club (as described above) may, on their upper-body attire, have the club name, club sponsor, or the club logo may be displayed on the front of the vest/leotard on the right chest. The display must be rectangular in shape, with a maximum size of 40cm2 and with the lettering a maximum height of 4cm if printed directly onto the vest/leotard or the size of the patch. The club name may appear on the back of the vest/leotard with the lettering a maximum height of 4cm, and no restriction in width.
Manufacturer's Name/Logo
The manufacturer's name/logo is the only identification that may appear on lower-body competition attire (shorts, tights), and it may be a maximum of 20 cm2 in area, with a maximum height of 4 cm and may appear only once.
Socks may also have the manufacturer's name/logo displayed once, with a maximum size of 5 cm2 in area and a maximum height of 2.5 cm.
A graphic or figurative logo of the manufacturer (not including name or any text) may also be used on socks as a decorative "design mark" once or repeatedly as a strip not exceeding 5 cm in width across the top edge of each sock, provided such use does not, in the opinion of USATF at its discretion, dominate or unduly detract from the appearance of the socks.
Other competition and warm-up attire worn on the lower body is subject to the same requirements as that for the competition attire for the lower body.
The identification of the name/logo of the manufacturer on other apparel such as headgear, hats, headbands, gloves, armbands, wristbands, glasses and sunglasses is limited to one identification mark, which may be a maximum size of 6 cm2.
The name/logo of the manufacturer of shoes used by an athlete during the course of the competition is not restricted in size.
If an athlete's clothing is not in compliance with these regulations, the athlete may be required by the event officials to wear plain attire as provided by the competition organizer.

IAAF size restrictions shall not apply to uniforms of colleges/universities/military units or branches, or longstanding track clubs (under IAAF rules, clubs existing prior to January 1, 1980) whose names do not include any sponsor identification. However, longstanding track clubs wishing to be exempted from the IAAF size restrictions must request an exemption in writing, and the exemption must be granted in writing by the USATF CEO.
