Club Colours
Our club colours are white, black, and “North Shore Maroon” (Hex 8A1538 / PMS 1955 C / ISACORD 1912).
Club Uniform
Jerseys and caps are uniform elements. Pants, belts, socks, and other items are player equipment. Batting helmets, skull caps, and catcher’s protective gear are team equipment.
Uniform Elements
Jerseys are mostly club-owned and provided to players although named “custom jerseys” are available for purchase via the club during the early stages of the registration period. Caps are player-owned and purchased from the club New Balance store except for Cubs (caps are included in annual fees).
- Jerseys are either maroon with pinstripes (our 23/24 to 25/26 design), black with maroon highlights (our 22/23 design), or maroon with black sleeves (our classic design) depending on availability and other considerations (e.g. multiple teams in the same grade may wish to look different).
- Caps are black with the NS monogram in maroon with a white outline, except for Premiers who wear a black cap with a white front panel featuring the NS knight with the monogram shifted to the side.
Player Equipment
Player equipment is player-owned and can be purchased from any supplier so long as it complies with the following requirements. However, we recommend purchasing through the club store where possible.
- Belts are required and must be black (preferred) or maroon
- Pants must be grey (all grades) or white (Premier grade home games only); Pants sold via the club store feature the NZ monogram but this is not required; Pants should not feature numbers, stripes, or any other design elements except the NS monogram (optional); Pants may be full-length or “knicker” style
- If pants are worn high such that socks are visible, the socks must be primarily either maroon (preferred) or black with any combination of maroon, black, or white stripes per player preference – the club has maroon socks with the NS monogram in white available for purchase (contact admin@nscbaseball.co.nz to enquire)
- Undershirts are optional; If worn they must be in club colours (maroon, black) or grey; White under layers are not recommended as umpires will remove them from pitchers
- Cleats should be primarily black and free of non-club colours
- Gloves/mitts may be any colour or design that is compliant with the rules of baseball
- Club colours or grey are preferred but not required for all other player equipment e.g. batting gloves, neck buffs, etc
Team Equipment
Teams will be provided batting helmets, protective skull caps, and catcher’s protective equipment in club colours (usually black). Player-owned equivalents (i.e. equipment that is “worn” rather than “held”) must be in club colours (maroon, black) or grey. Teams are also provided with bats, but players may also bring their own. Player-owned bats may be any colour, but must comply with league regulations (as defined on the ABA website in league “cheat sheets”, for example).
Other Apparel
Our New Balance store stocks club caps and a range of training, coaching, and supporter gear.
