What Teamwear Does Your Hockey Club Need?

To play hockey in most leagues you will be required to wear shinpads which means you will need socks that are long and stretchy enough to fit them underneath.

The colour of socks is also important for hockey teams as you want to avoid clashes between teams as socks are often what you notice when you are dribbling with your head down.

This means that teams are likely to need a home and away shirt and socks while also bearing in mind that you might need to match your home shirt with your away socks and vice versa.

There is also the footless sock revolution which has made its way into football and hockey predominantly. Traditionally, you would just take normal socks and cut the feet off but now kit suppliers are selling them already footless.

Another important aspect is the goalkeeper Smock which is a match shirt big enough to fit around the padding a goalkeeper needs. At Serious Sport, we recommend ordering the smock two sizes above what you would normally get to fill this brief.

There are always other teamwear items which are useful, especially for hockey which is a winter sport but often has summer leagues.

This means a team could well need bench coats and bobble hats for the regular season but vests and sun hats for the summer league.

On a Serious Sport team store, the club team store admin will get the choice of which of these items they want to offer their club.
