I live on the border of 2 counties, both having their own leagues and FA’s whilst 1 of them is my parent county FA, if your an affiliate of the other FA are you allowed to wear your parent FA’s badge on your shirt if officiating in a league/cup match sanctioned by another county? I’ve also heard that wearing wearing of a badge is a must for county cup fixtures, I assume this must be the sanctioning counties badge and not that of your parent FA?

I’m keen to get my parent county badge printed on my kit as I don’t really like the Velcro patches but looks like it may be the only way without multi shirts.

Just wear your parent county badge. It is based on where you live so not an issue.

The only time I've had county badges mentioned is of I get appointed to the later stages of my counties cup compilations.

They Reiterate they want you to represent them.
 
I live in a county where I rarely referee in that county because, besides a few local sides, every team is an hour away.

So I have a shirt with that badge and one with the other county's badge. This is not necessary but I chose to because sometimes local sides go and play in that other county and some teams got funny about me having my home county's badge.

(Hope that makes sense)
