LABELS/ AGE PATCHES – Where do they go?
Athlete Registration Number
These patches must be firmly affixed to the front of the athlete’s top so as to be clearly visible at all times and the athlete’s name must be clearly marked. For older athletes wearing singlets or crops, we recommend velcro fastenings so numbers can be moved from shirt to crop with ease.
Age Group Patch
The age group patch, as supplied, must be firmly affixed to the left sleeve of the Athlete’s shirt.
Coles Sponsor Patch
The Coles patch is to be affixed to the right breast of the Athlete’s shirt.
Compression garments (eg Skins) can be worn under shorts but they must be bottle green or black. If boys choose to wear bike pants/compression garments as part of their uniform, they must wear sports shorts over the top. Bike pants/compression garments on their own are not acceptable for boys.
