Dear Members,

We’re excited to officially launch the new Bray Hockey Club kit, created in partnership with Wolfhound and Elk, an Irish company that specialises in bespoke, sustainable, and ethically made performance sportswear.

As part of our “One Club, One Kit” strategy, we’re proud to bring all sections of the club together under a single, modern, high-quality kit range. The new range includes the introduction of navy shorts and skorts, quarter-zips, base layers, singlets, and more. A new women’s short option is also on the way for those that may prefer the short over skort option.

Starting with the 2025/26 season, all Senior Men’s and Women’s 1st and 2nd team players will be required to wear the full new kit for all matches. While not yet mandatory for other teams, we strongly encourage all Senior 3s/4s, Vets, and Junior members to purchase and begin wearing the new kit now to take advantage of the competitive early bird discounts. From the 2026/27 season, the new kit will be compulsory for all players, and the old kit will no longer be permitted in matches.

To help you find the right fit, kit sizing evenings for all members will take place at Loreto Bray from 7:00pm to 8:30pm on:

·       Tuesday 3rd June, and

·       Tuesday 24th June

We encourage everyone to attend one of these sessions to try on the new range. To avail of early bird pricing, orders must be placed through the online shop by Thursday 26th June. Please refer to the attached PDF for a full breakdown of available items, sizing options, and both discounted and standard pricing.

As part of this exciting update, all Senior players will have their name and a permanent squad number printed on each jersey – at no additional cost. These numbers will be assigned by the club and will stay with you throughout your time actively playing Senior League hockey with Bray HC.

For Senior Women, we ask that all players intending to play in the 2025/26 season (including Under 16 players progressing into the Senior section) complete this form by 2pm on Friday 6th June 2025, even if you don’t have a preferred jersey number. If the form is not submitted by the deadline, numbers will be assigned based on the following criteria:

·       Confirmation to play in 2025/26,

·       2024/25 registration and squad status,

·       Priority to regular league players,

·       Where multiple requests exist for the same number, an online random selector will be used.

For Senior Men, squad number assignment is already managed by the club. Please contact Steven Jones directly if you have any questions or concerns about your jersey number.

Please note that Junior Girls and Vets players will not be assigned numbers at this time, unless representing Bray HC at Senior league level or in cup competitions as required by the LHA.

With the launch of our new kit and renewed focus on growing the club, we are also looking to partner with individuals or businesses interested in sponsoring the club or specific teams. Sponsorship can include logo placement, social media exposure, and community engagement opportunities. If you or someone you know may be interested, please reach out to Steven Jones to discuss the available packages and options.

The launch of our new kit is a major step forward for the club, and we’re excited to see all teams looking sharp, feeling confident, and representing Bray HC proudly on the pitch.
