Lauren Bowman is the founder and visionary behind Stripes. As a dedicated referee, she created the brand to give officials a way to represent themselves beyond the game—through minimal, versatile gear that fits into every part of a referee’s life. Stripes. is more than a brand to Lauren—it’s a reflection of the referee community that has supported her and shaped her journey.

Built on years of experience, mutual support, and love for the game, Lauren’s mission is to create a space where referees feel seen, proud, and connected—both on and off the ice.
