New Labrador Tigerstix Playing Uniform – This Weekend
As a club we are very excited to be stepping out to play this weekend in the new Labrador Tigerstix playing strip which returns to Labrador’s original yellow and black (photos coming soon!). All players are expected to be attired as follows:
Girls and Women:
- Tank top (under 12 girls wear sleeved shirts)
- Socks (yellow, black, or other team colour)
- Skirt with black underwear or skort (a skirt with a short sewn in underneath)
- Compression or sun safety garments – must be plain black and to be worn under Labrador uniform.
Boys and Men:
- Shirt
- Socks (yellow, black, or other team colour)
- Shorts
- Compression or sun safety garments – must be plain black and to be worn under Labrador uniform.
Players may choose to wear undergarments such as activewear under their shirts, shorts, skirts or skorts. This is acceptable for all players, male or female, at all levels of hockey, provided that the undergarments are plain black and are worn under skirts/skorts/shorts and socks.
Feedback on additional uniform items will be considered for 2023 season options.
This is our first year of the new uniform and we have completed the design and ordering process and kitted out some 275 players from 8 year olds to 67 year olds all with volunteer labour.
We think we’ve met our goal for a design for the club to look smart and sporty with the support of our corporate partners SOPO. Any additional feedback or uniform suggestions can be provided to our club secretary, secretary@labradorhockey.org.au.
