2. The jacket should be kept clean and neat.
3. The back of the jacket includes only: a large official FFA
emblem, the name of the state association, and the name of the
local chapter, district, or area. The front of the jacket includes
only: a small emblem, the name of the individual, one office or
honor, and the year of that honor.
4. The jacket should be worn on official occasions with the
zipper fastened to the top. The collar and cuffs should be turned
down and the cuffs buttoned.
5. The jacket should be worn by members and officers on all
official FFA occasions, as well as other occasions where the
chapter or state association is represented. It may also be worn to
school and other appropriate places.
6. The jacket should only be worn to places that are appropriate
for members to visit.

given or sold to a non-member.
10. A member should act professionally when wearing the official
FFA jacket.
11. Members should refrain from the use of tobacco and alcohol
when underage and at all times when representing FFA. In addition,
members should exhibit their leadership qualities when they

discourage others from inappropriate behavior.

beneath the name on the right side of the jacket, with the
