At Parkdale Pacers we order and supply our own uniforms. Uniforms can be purchased online at timeof registration or alternatively by emailing our uniform co-ordinator at uniforms@parkdalepacers.org

If you are placed in a team and your number clashes with another player in your team one of you will need to swap their top over to another number.
