Scotch College Sport Uniform numbering system
Numbers are worn in the following sports: basketball, football, futsal, hockey, soccer, touch football and volleyball with rugby union 1sts only.
Numbers for ‘All School’ teams are generated by the size of the garment you purchase. (1sts Team numbering refer below). Based on modern manufacturing process of sublimation printing directly on the fabric, the number is pre-printed onto the garment at the time of production.
All teams at each level have numbers with a consistent modern professional look and will allow for easier identification of players.
The numbers within the Scotch College sport program will range from 1-99 and will be allocated on a random basis at the time of purchasing your sports top.
1sts teams will require TICs to support the numbering allocation through direct communication with the Scotch Shop and boys. This is done initially at the start of the season and when boys are added into 1sts teams.
