Introducing…the New AHC Playing Uniform
March 16, 2023
INTRODUCING…The new Altona Hockey Club Playing Uniform.
Here for the 2023 season, a lot of work has gone into this new kit that will be available for the whole club.
Apart from a brand new design, the biggest change is a move to give players more options in the uniform that you wear. All pieces feature the same design so any cut or piece can be worn by any player, and on the women’s side players now have the choice of Singlet or Short Sleeve Shirt as their playing top. The idea is to eventually offer Men’s Singlets and Women’s shorts as well, there is an expression of interest below for anyone who would like this items.
There is also two colours of Unisex training tops available, these match the Women’s Round and Men’s Round that we regular celebrate during the season, and in addition the Pride Cup tops will also be available to order shortly – these are all optional items for training or warming up.There is no change to the socks.
The uniform is available now for pre-order via our Online Shop, the Hoody and Pants that were introduced last year are also available.
For all Premier League players, because it is an expectation that you wear the uniform, you can also contact Kerrie and organise your order and pay on arrival, for all other players the uniform is optional. There will be one other chance in the middle of the season to order.
Samples of all items and sizes are available to try on at the club uniform shop. We still have stock of the previous uniform available at the uniform shop that will be available at a heavily discounted rate.
Pre-Order: By Friday 24th of March, 2023 at the latest.
To view and order: https://shop.altonahc.org.au/product-category/apparel/
Expectation of Players: Premier League squads to all be playing in the new uniform in 2023. For all other players it is purely optional up until the 2025 season. We will be having both uniforms on pitch in the transition period for all sides apart from Premier League.
Try On Times:
- Thursday 16th March – 5pm – 8.30pm
- Tuesday 21st March – 6pm – 8pm
- Thursday 23rd March – 6pm – 8pm
