Uniform History

We’ve come such a long way since the days of the below knee woollen box pleat tunics, stiff cotton shirts and woollen stockings from the early years. Over the decades which followed the uniform fabric became lighter and finer and the length shorter! Polo tops and skirts replaced tunics and bibs were introduced. Today netball dresses are the more popular choice with tops and skirts still having their place. Present day players enjoy modern sporting fabric – so much more comfortable to wear. How things have changed – for the better!

Did you know that early netball playing days didn’t include netball bibs? From our research, these didn’t come into use until around the 1970s.

Did you know?

That netball actually was based on an early version of basketball. It was played initially in an indoor setting and had two teams of nine players each. Netball changed over the years to the version we enjoy today.
