Crusty gnas dress code - bottoms

Wingate - I was on target 11. I can't believe that I missed the opportunity to have my first 'normal' (I'm excluding Greydog by use of the word) meeting with a fellow AIUK member

It was a quite informal event so there was a mix of clothing, from the green and white of some of the older members to jeans and fashion tops of the younger guys. The smartest team out however were the ones who wore club colours (in this case black and orange tops, and black trousers). even the teams that all wore green and white, looked scrappy due to the wide variety of greens and even while that prevailed.

I dont see why they coudn't ammend the rules to say that green and/or white should be worn if club colours (both tops and bottoms) are not and then provide guidelines to the clubs as to what is acceptable as club colours (e.g. trousers should black, white or green, no jeans or combats etc etc; tops should be mostly of one colour etc etc; no trainers). This would allow what is acceptable to be decided and agreed by the clubs.

Given this how many clubs would still pick colurs based around the green and white, allowing the tradition to continue within the sport, but not exclude those that wanted to present a more up-to-date or youthful image.

Paper..

It must have been an informal shoot? Some of what you say is how the rules run - that is, if you don't wear your club top (with green or white bottoms)then it's greens or whites top and bottom. Certainly black trousers are not allowed, even as part of the club outfit where the rules are being enforced to the letter.

Are you saying our meeting was not normal....or that I am not normal?

Uh? whosawhatnow?

there's no safety reason for it

In a projectile sport on grass clearly green is the last colour you should choose. Dayglow orange much more like it.

Assorted mixings of various shades of green and white always looks a mess and has the opposite effect of what was intended. Plus all the other disadvantages of green. Forget colour regulation and promote club colours. Of course in a couple of years when everyone turns up in an AIUK T shirt we'll be back to dull semi-uniformity again.

Registering a club with GNAS is free. Why not register AIUK as a club? Everyone could shoot in matching team colours!
