QLD UNIFORMS 2017
The good news is that there will be no change to the Qld team uniforms in 2017.
The only exception which may impact some players are socks. In 2016, a new design sock was introduced which some players purchased for the 2016 National Championships.
These socks were Maroon or Yellow with Qld printed along the sides. ( NOT the socks with a vertical stripe used in 2015!).
In 2017 ALL selected players must purchase and wear the current Qld socks - a maoon pair and a yellow pair.
SO: if you did not purchase new socks in 2016, you will need to complete the online order form via the website when it becomes available later in the year.
