       FIFA are marking the occasion of the 1000th match with a special
       one off referees kit. Instead of the usual black stripes and
       logo on the flamingo kit for this game it’ll be replaced by gold
       as well as a gold sleeve badge

       hi,
       looks good - but as the match is on at 05:00 bst, i think i'll
       wait to see it in the highlights package at a more friendly hour

       I've seen a post online about whether the World Cup Final
       officials should get a gold kit, which I am fully for.
       I think it'd be a great move and would definitely help to
       recognise Team One, rather than just the standard kits.
       Although, I think it may slightly depend on who gets to the
       final and what kit colour they wear. However, I am sure those
       behind the scenes will sort it all out if a gold referee kit is
       on the cards.

       There’s nothing new under the sun!  There were gold referee
       shirts at the 1994 World Cup in the USA.
