Over 30 Years of Experience. Quality Officiating Gear. Personalized Service.

Founded in 1992, Smitteez Sportswear began as a custom apparel and embroidery business serving local schools, teams, businesses, and organizations.

Over the years, we've grown and evolved, expanding our focus to become a specialty retailer of umpire and referee uniforms, protective equipment, and officiating accessories.

Today, from our retail location in Keansburg, New Jersey, we proudly serve sports officials, athletic associations, schools, leagues, and organizations throughout the United States.

Our mission is simple: Provide quality officiating equipment at competitive prices, backed by knowledgeable, personalized customer service.
