The “New” Football Jersey

Many parents and boys would be aware that the College developed/produced a new Football jersey that was worn by the 2nd XI and Junior School teams in 2020. The new jersey modelled by Alex Pizzinga of Year 12 will be worn by all teams in 2021. In keeping with tradition, the 2nd XI jersey will be the only jersey other than the 1st XI that features numbers on the back.

The jersey can be purchased from the Uniform Shop as of this week. I would encourage any boy that has previously represented the College in Football to hold on to the yellow jersey from last season so that it can be worn at training/trials and more importantly, when we have SPC teams scheduled to play against each other on a Saturday.

Below are details relating to the fabric and durability of the jersey.

Polylock is a lightweight, smooth surface finish fabric with moisture wicking properties. Ideal for training and non-contact on-field kit, Polylock is made from 100% Polyester interlock and weighted at 140gsm. 

In terms of quality control, Dynasty Sport ensure fabric quality, garment construction, embellishments and all logos all pass through a strict quality control testing process ensuring all items meet the requirements before dispatch. They also ensure quality control batch testing is undertaken for all fabrics to ensure consistency takes place with all orders. This covers all areas of fabric such as:

• colour matching, weight testing, composition
• reporting and texture.

They also test for:

• general fabric performance
• burst strength
• wicking test
• snagging test
• pilling test
• colour fastness and
• shrinkage. 

The feedback the College received last year was quite positive and I hope the boys will like and appreciate the opportunity to represent the College in this new predominantly black jersey for years to come.
