IBJJF UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS
GIs should be tailored using cotton or cotton-like fabric only. The fabric should not be so thick or hard as to impede an opponent from gripping it. A GI fashioned from woven fabric is mandatory for all age divisions. It is permitted to wear kimono with EVA or similar material inside the collar, if the measures of size and rigidity regulations provided in the IBJJF Rules Book are followed.
GI COLOR AND PATCHES
GIs must be of uniform color. The following colors are permissible: white, royal blue or black. Gis with tops and pants of different colors are not permitted; nor are GIs with a collar that is a different color than the rest of the top. Painted GIs are forbidden, unless the paint is designed in the form of an academy or sponsor logo – and only on regions of the GI where patches are permitted. Even in cases where they are permitted, the athlete will be obliged to change GIs should the paint mark the GI of the opponent. Patches may only be affixed in authorized regions of the GI, as depicted in the IBJJF Rules Book. They should be of cotton fabric and properly seamed. All patches unseamed or in unauthorized regions of the GI will be removed by the GI inspectors.
GI MEASUREMENTS

GI pants should reach no more than 2 cm above the tibial malleolus (ankle bone). The inspection will verify whether the following official measurements are met: GI lapel thickness (1.3 cm), width of GI collar (5 cm), opening of sleeve at full extension (7 cm).
