Our heritage, our tradition with a contemporary expression. Simplistic, minimalistic, tailored and refined in design. Enduring, timeless and classic in style. This range is practical, functional, versatile and durable, with flexibility for our young athletes.
At Melbourne Grammar School, sport is an unwavering part of who we are.
The first recorded game of Australian Rules Football was played between Melbourne Grammar and Scotch College, and the annual match-up, now known as the Cordner-Eggleston Cup, has become one of the longest-running school football fixtures in the world.
When our students compete with pride in their navy-blue uniforms, they carry 168 years of sporting excellence with them.
This year we are introducing a new range of competition sportswear for Melbourne Grammar School athletes. In an ambitious APS environment, we strive to remain competitive at the elite level while providing a sports program that is enjoyable for all, with a uniform that equips students to perform at their best.
Reflecting the significance of representing the School at this level, select sports now have a designated Firsts competition uniform.
These uniforms retain the red socks, and include new items emblazoned with a gold Firsts mitre.
The range has been designed with young athletes in mind, making it practical, functional, flexible, and durable. A contemporary expression of our heritage; it creates a consistent yet distinctly Melbourne Grammar look across the breadth of sports our students play today.
As the range is rolled out to students over the coming months, our legacy of sporting excellence continues.
